New features in SAP Sybase ASE 15.7 ESD#2
A few weeks ago (early August 2012), ASE 15.7 ESD2 was released. Despite being an ESD, this ASE release actually contains a truckload of great new features as well. You should really check these out since some of these are just so useful… Let me just highlight a selected few that I like particularly (I hope to come back to some of these topics in the time ahead).
* larger database size – First, the maximum size of an ASE database has been doubled as of 15.7 ESD2. This means that with a 2KB or 16KB page size, the maximum size of a single ASE database is now 8TB or 64TB, respectively (and you can still have thousands of such databases in a single ASE server).
* async database creation
* split/merge partition
* non-blocking table rebuild
* faster update statistics
* faster index creation
* query performance
* Materialized Views
* security & permission
