HI-

I am currently developing client/server applications using Sybase System
10.  I have a chance to do some work on the side which would include
installing and configuring MS SQL Server 4.21 on an NT 3.5 server(with
only a few clients) and serving as the DBA.   I would like to access SQL
Server with both VB and PowerBuilder -  I am experienced with VB and
Sybase so I am not too worried about that, but is it easy to access SQL
Server with PowerBuilder? Any advice on someone starting out on this
project( I have no experience in SQL Server configuration or DBA work)? 
Any major pitfalls to avoid in one's first attempt at this?  

Also, I only have the CD that SQL Server came on - but no manuals.  Is the
on-line documentation going to be sufficient for me to get SQL Server up
and running? 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!  If you want, I can be reached
by mail at Newer96255@aol.com.

Thanks in advance!!
