CHAPTER 3 Post-Installation Tasks

For more information on the -Joption in isql, see the Utility Guide.

jpubs database

If you installed the Japanese Language Module with your Adaptive Server, the scripts file contains the installjpubs script for installing the jpubs database. jpubs is a database similar to pubs2 that contains Japanese data. installjpubs uses the EUC-JIS (eucjis), UTF-8 (utf8), or the Shift-JIS (sjis) character sets.

Verify that you are running HP Native Language I/O to ensure that your system can display Japanese data correctly.

vInstalling the jpubs database

1 Set your terminal to display 8-bit characters.

2 Verify that the EUC-JIS, Shift-JIS, or UTF-8 character set is installed as the Adaptive Server default character set or as an additional character set.

3 Determine the type (raw partition, logical volume, operating system file, and so on) and location of the device where you will be storing the jpubs database. You will need to provide this information later.

4 Make a copy of the original installjpubs script. Be sure that you can access this copy, in case you experience problems with the edited script.

5 Use a text editor to edit the script, if necessary, to specify a default device other than the master device, or use sp_diskdefault. See “Default devices for sample databases” on page 44.

6Execute the installjpubs script, using the -Jflag to ensure that the database is installed with the correct character set:

isql -Usa -Ppassword -Sservername -Jeucjis

-i%SYBASE%\%SYBASE_ASE%\scripts\eucjis\installjpubs

or:

isql -Usa-Ppassword -Sservername -Jsjis

-i %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_ASE%\scripts\sjis\installjpubs

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.
