Using the Sybase database system

Databases are incredibly useful. As a matter of fact, they are among the most useful things ever created by man (along with socks, duct tape, and the electric light bulb). You can use a database for billing records, recipes, organizing your contact information (like a rolodex), managing a list of items -- like a stamp collection, keeping track of reservations for a hotel, or making a catalog of books for a library.
