in thread The need to work and re-train

Personally I think Sybase is junk
Care to elaborate on that? (maybe in a /msg rather than here, as it's not really relevant, but I'm interested in your opinion)

  • DB dump files are not useable between different implemenations of Sybase. And there no tool to fix that problem (AFAIK).
  • The installation documentation was all wrong and (IMHO) kludgy.

    Both of these problem where enough to make me use free RDBMS instead of slapping down $2,000 bucks.

      Your first point is fixed in 12.5.3 (due out before the end of the year).

      As for the second - I haven't really looked at the install docs in a long time, but I haven't seen any real issues with it. And of course there is a free (as in beer) version for linux...

      And I'll shut up now as this has nothing to do with the original thread...
