| Sybase iAnywhere Unveils Advantage Database Server 9.0 Sybase iAnywhere has announced the release of Advantage Database Server 9. The updated features include unique support for Visual FoxPro 9, significant performance boosts for large transactions, reduced end user configuration requirements and the addition of key functionality including an SQL Debugger and 64 bit Platform Support. A key piece of Sybase's embedded and workgroup database management offerings, Advantage Database Server is a high performance embedded client/server data management system that provides both ISAM table-based and SQL-based data access, enabling application developers to easily chart a growth path for legacy database applications to today's modern techniques. Functionality Enhancements of Advantage Database Server 9 Enhanced FoxPro Support: - Advantage 9 will support the Visual FoxPro 9 file format. Performance Enhancements: - 64-bit Windows and Linux Servers: The Advantage Database Server was ported to run as a native 64-bit application on the x64 versions of Windows and Linux greatly increasing memory usage capabilities. - SQL Engine and Filter Performance Enhancements: The server will now use a more efficient method to optimize multi-segmented filters. Since filters are used extensively by the SQL engine, this optimization will provide a positive impact on the performance of SQL statements as well. Productivity Enhancements: - SQL Debugger: A visual SQL debugger has been added to the Advantage Data Architect, allowing developers to debug SQL scripts, stored procedures, triggers and user defined functions by using breakpoints, and call stack/variable inspection. - Dynamic Server Configuration: If all the available resources are in use, Advantage will automatically adjust to handle the new requirements. - Event Notifications: Event notifications are a mechanism that allows an action at the server to proactively notify clients that an event they are interested in has occurred. - New Default User Groups: Admin, public, debug backup. - TDataSet Descendant Version Management Utility: The TDataSet Switch utility allows developers to maintain multiple projects on a single PC, even if each project uses a different version of the Advantage TDataSet Descendant. - Enhanced Replication Functionality: Added pause and merge functionality. Advantage 9 will be available on March 17th. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
