CHAPTER 4 Installing Sybase PC-Client Products

8In the Network Address box, you can enter either the server name or the IP address, along with the server port number. For example:

machine_name, 4100

where machine_name is the name of the computer, and 4100 is the port number the server is using to “listen” for clients.

Note Windows now accepts TCP-style connection information:

[SERVER]

MASTER=NLWNSCK,huey,2222

QUERY=NLWNSCK,huey,2222

or

[SERVER]

MASTER=TCP,heuy,2222

QUERY=TCP,heuy,2222

The preferred format is to use TCP and a space between the host_name and port_number, because it is supported across all platforms. You can edit the interfaces file with any standard ASCII text editor.

9To find the IP address for a machine, use ypmatch on a UNIX box, ipconfig on Windows. See your system administration guide for the commands on your system.

Note To connect to a UNIX server, the entries you add to interfaces must match the entries in the interfaces file on the UNIX system.

For instructions on using dsedit to modify existing interfaces file entries or create new interfaces file entries for existing servers, see the Utility Guide.

Note You can use Windows NT Directory Replication to replicate interfaces in multiple locations. See the Microsoft documentation for information. You can also use directory services, which are stored in the Registry.

For additional information on using dsedit on the client computer, see the Open Client and Server Configuration Guide for Desktop Platforms and the Open Client and Server Supplement.

For specific information about entries for connections to Monitor Server and Historical Server, see:

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.
