CHAPTER 7 Troubleshooting

2Perform the necessary actions to fix the problem.

For example, if the error log indicates that the upgrade failed because your existing databases do not contain enough space, use the alter database command to increase the available space.

3You may need to shut down Adaptive Server.

Shutting down the server enables the installation program to start the server and re-run the upgrade session.

4Start Server Config from the Sybase program folder.

5Select Upgrade Adaptive Server, and proceed with the upgrade.

If the cause of the failure is unknown

If the upgrade process fails again, and you cannot determine the cause of failure, check the error log file to find out when and where the upgrade failed, and contact Sybase Technical Support.

By default, the log file is located in %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_ASE%\install\<servername>.log.

Upgrading compiled objects with dbcc upgrade_object

Adaptive Server version 11.9.3 introduced the process of upgrading compiled objects based on their source text. Compiled objects are:

Check constraints

Defaults

Rules

Stored procedures (including extended stored procedures)

Triggers

Views

The source text of each compiled object is stored in the syscomments table, unless it has been manually deleted. When you upgrade the server, the existence of the source text in syscomments is verified during that process. However, the compiled objects are not actually upgraded until they are invoked.

This version builds upon its predecessors, offering improved features and enhancements that cater to both enterprises and developers.

One of the standout features of Sybase 15.0.2 is its advanced performance capabilities. The version introduces optimization enhancements such as the Query Optimizer, which is designed to ensure efficient execution of complex queries. This optimizer analyzes SQL statements and tables to choose the most efficient means of retrieval, thus reducing execution time and improving the overall performance of the database.

Sybase 15.0.2 supports improved scalability, allowing organizations to handle increased workloads without significant changes to their infrastructure. This scalability is crucial for businesses experiencing growth, as it ensures that performance remains consistent and reliable.

Another notable characteristic is the robust security architecture integrated within Sybase 15.0.2. The system includes features like data encryption, user authentication, and authorization mechanisms, making it suitable for environments that handle sensitive information. Database administrators can implement fine-grained access controls to manage user permissions effectively.

Moreover, Sybase 15.0.2 boasts support for a wide range of programming languages and frameworks. This versatility allows developers to build applications using their preferred tools, promoting productivity and ease of integration into existing systems. The database management system also supports various platforms, including Windows and UNIX, enabling diverse deployments across different environments.

In addition to these technological enhancements, Sybase 15.0.2 emphasizes data integrity through its robust transaction management system. It implements the ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) to ensure that all database transactions are processed reliably, thereby maintaining the integrity of data even in high-transaction scenarios.

In conclusion, Sybase 15.0.2 is a feature-rich RDBMS that combines performance, scalability, security, and flexibility. Its advanced capabilities not only enhance data management for organizations but also provide a solid foundation for developers seeking to create efficient and secure applications. The improvements in this version make it a compelling choice for enterprises looking to optimize their database operations in an increasingly data-driven world.
