Design overview

 

This chapter describes general publication design issues that you must

 

address when designing a SQL Remote installation. It also describes how

 

SQL Remote replicates data.

Design at the

Like all SQL Remote administrative tasks, design is carried out by a

consolidated database

database administrator or system administrator at the consolidated database.

 

The Adaptive Server Enterprise System Administrator or database

 

administrator should perform all SQL Remote configuration tasks.

Ensuring compatible databases

You should ensure that all databases participating in a SQL Remote installation are compatible in terms of sort orders, character sets, and database option settings.

If your installation includes both Adaptive Server Enterprise and Adaptive

Server Anywhere databases, you should ensure your Adaptive Server

Anywhere databases are created in an Adaptive Server

Enterprise-compatible fashion.

For a full description of how to create Enterprise-compatible Adaptive Server Anywhere databases, see “Creating a Transact-SQL-compatible database” [ASA SQL User’s Guide, page 483]. This section provides a brief description only.

To create an Enterprise-compatible Adaptive Server Anywhere database ( Sybase Central )

1. The Create Database wizard provides a button that sets each of the available choices to emulate Adaptive Server Enterprise. This is the simplest way to create a Transact-SQL-compatible database.

To create an Enterprise-compatible Adaptive Server Anywhere database ( Command line )

1. Ensure trailing blanks are ignored You can do this using the dbinit -b

option.

2.Ensure the dbo user ID is set If you have a database that already has a user ID named dbo, then you can transfer the ownership of the Adaptive Server Anywhere Transact-SQL system views to another user ID. You can do this using the dbinit -goption.

3. Remove historical system views You can do this with the dbinit -k

option.
