Well, you'll probably find that there will be far more people to "care to answer you" if you show signs of havinf RTFMed before asking your question. Also looking stuff up in a good book is far quicker than asking on a mailing list or newsgroup. When I first started working in Sybase about 10 years ago, the Sams Unleashed book was one of the best purchases I made. It has paid for itself many times over in time saved. Assuming that the current edition is of the same standard you'd be well advised to buy a copy.
