discuss: Thread: Proposal: Sybase ASE / SQL Server HOWTO

There are HOWTOs for several commercial relational databases available; DB2, 
Oracle (several versions), Sybase ASA.
I'm planning to write a HOWTO on Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise / SQL 
Server. There are various versions available with different licensing etc. 
(none open source, but both "free as in beer" and developer versions), I'll 
get that covered in the doc.
It should contain installation and the first steps of basic usage, with 
real-world known problems you could hit during installation. Also links / 
pointers to further information.
I expect to have an initial suggestion for an outline of the doc quite soon.

The title will be:
"Sybase ASE / SQL Server HOWTO"

Regards,

Kian Spongsveen
