SAP offers various optional features for Adaptive Server, such as data compression, partitions, and encrypted columns.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
Data compression | Enables compression for regular and large object data, which uses less storage space for the same amount of data, reduces cache memory consumption, and improves performance due to lower I/O demands. |
Security
and directory services | Provides lightweight directory services and network-based authentication
and encryption using SSL and Kerberos. |
Partitions | Enables semantic partitioning for table
row data. |
Encrypted columns | Increases security parameters and allows for addition of datatypes. |
Tivoli Storage Manager | Enables the database to back up and restore operations to IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. |
In-memory database | Provides zero-disk-footprint in-memory database support that is fully integrated
with Adaptive Server for high-performance transactional applications.
Provides performance enhancements to disk-resident databases with relaxed
durability properties. |
Adaptive Server editions and optional features are unlocked by SySAM licenses. See the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide.
