DBA Survival Guide: 7.XX Update
Posted in 1996
Hi Ya'll, I am now in the process of beginning an update to my Prentice Hall/ Informix Press book, _The Informix Database Administrator's Survival Guide_. The old Guide was specific to 5.XX, and I'll be updating it for 7.XX (maybe even XPS if there's interest). My question for this newsgroup, which is my number one source of info about what's really going on is: What do I need to put in it? For all of you who have been so nice and so supportive of the first project, what do you want to see? My initial plan is to come out with a second edition that covers both 5.XX and 7.XX. Is that reasonable, or would you like a separate book for 7.XX? I know the first book was very weak on I-Net (I didn't understand it then) and that I need some more illustrations, so those items will get into the book. I'm also planning to talk more about debugging and performance-tuning ESQL/C applications. (for those of you who may remember this far back, I'll also revise references to "secondary chunks" <g> ) I'd appreciate any input from you, either by e-mail or by posting here. Thanks for your continuing support!
