You will need to have documentation.  Pull out all the stops to get some.  Also
 maybe some of the books that have been mentioned on this alias, including
 Sybase Architecture and Administration by John Kirkwood.  This is good as long
 as you're using 4.21, won't be so relevant with 6.0.

PB uses the same db-lib or odbc connectivity as Sybase, or Sql server & VB,
 though the dll's may be different.

Maybe take a course? ;)

Subject:        Advice on getting started

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!!
