CHAPTER 2 Installing Adaptive Server

Installing server components

Follow the instructions in this section to install Adaptive Server, Backup

Server, and Monitor Server.

Note Adaptive Server Enterprise 15.0.2 includes new major versions of Adaptive Server and many of the supporting components. Installing Adaptive Server version 15.0.2 into the same directory with existing products should not impact the existing products. However, installing other products on top of Adaptive Server version 15.0.2 will likely result in one or more products not working correctly.

Sybase strongly recommends that Adaptive Server version 15.0.2 be installed into its own directory if possible. Where this is not practical and other products must be installed into the same directory, Adaptive Server version 15.0.2 should be installed last.

Installation methods

The following instructions are for using the Installer in GUI mode. You can also perform the installation in a non-GUI (text-based) mode or a completely silent installation with no interaction. Or, you can perform the installation, then configure Adaptive Server separately using either the GUI-based configuration tools or silently with the use of a resource file. For information on alternate methods of installation see Appendix A, “Alternative Installation Methods.”

Users not already familiar with Adaptive Server should install using the GUI-based Installer. Select a typical install, and accept the default configuration.

Installing components with the Installer in GUI mode

Note Sybase recommends installing products as a sybase user. Root permissions are not required to run the installer.

The Installer creates the target directory (if necessary) and installs the selected components into that directory.

15.0.2 specifications

Sybase 15.0.2, a product of the Sybase corporation (now SAP), is a relational database management system (RDBMS) that provides robust solutions for data management, security, and performance. 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.
