A guide for database developers who are involved in designing and implementing client/server applications in the Sybase environment. It combines detailed knowledge of SQL servers with a real-world understanding of the issues involved in designing and implementing client/server solutions.
The authors do a good job explaining physical database considerations. It is also a good source for developing some standards such as naming conventions for objects. You could easily devise a checklist of activities for moving from a logical to physical design, but I'd read the entire book well in advance of your need to do so. The book does not cover how each task may fit into an overall methodology, so you better understand the lifecycle and where each task needs to be performed. This is not for beginners and doesn't cover any logical modeling principles, but is an excellent read for experienced modelers needing a Sybase implementation guide
