New Licensing Option

Sybase IQ 15.4 includes the new InDatabase Analytics license option.

• InDatabase Analytics Option – The InDatabase Analytics Option is a new license type that enables customers to build, deploy and run their own C/C++ User-Defined Functions (UDF). Unlike previous releases, this option is available to all Sybase IQ customers and no longer requires Sybase certification.

  The InDatabase Analytics Option includes a new IQ_IDA license that will function as both the InDatabase Analytics Option and Partner Solutions license. Although customers can purchase the InDatabase Analytics Options to enable V4 UDF support, this license restricts runtime execution on MultiPlex reader nodes. With the IQ_IDA license, all v4 UDFs (aggregate, scalar, table, and tpf) execute on MultiPlex reader nodes only. Only Sybase partners can execute UDFs on all node types, by implementing the get_license_info method. This method returns a server "key" that Sybase will provide to partners.

  Sybase will continue to support the current Partner Solutions IQ_UDF license, which is required for existing V3 C/C++ libraries. There will be no change in server runtime behavior for this license. Partners can obtain a copy of the new InDatabase Analytics Option and the library authentication method from Sybase without cost.
