CHAPTER 2 Installing Adaptive Server

•Small Business Edition

•Developers Edition

Note You must select only the Adaptive Server edition for which you have a license. For more information about troubleshooting license type and edition problems, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting SySAM Issues.”

15If you are installing Enterprise Edition or Small Business Edition, you must also enter the License Type under which Adaptive Server is licensed.

16The Configure New Servers window asks if you want to configure new servers, depending upon the products you installed. A Full or Custom installation allows you to choose to:

•Configure new Adaptive Server

•Configure new Backup Server

•Configure new Monitor Server

•Configure new XP Server

•Configure new Job Scheduler

•Enable Self Management

•Configure Web Services

•Configure Unified Agent

Select the servers you want to configure. If you do not want to configure the new servers at this point, unselect the item and click Next. The Custom Configure New Server Options window appears.

17The Custom Configure New Server Options window allows you to select servers to custom configure. If you do not select any servers in this window, the Installer configures all the servers using default values.

If you choose the default values, the Installer chooses everything including the server name, port number, and master device location. It also installs Backup Server, Monitor Server, and the XP Server, choosing the name, port number, and error log.

If you accept the defaults, the server names are:

•Adaptive Server – <host name>

•Backup Server – <host name>_BS

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.
