  • Data cache – From the drop-down menu, select the cache to which you want to bind the database.
  • Durability level – Select one of:
    • NO_RECOVERY – there is no guarantee that, at runtime, committed transactions are written to the disk.
    • AT_SHUTDOWN – all committed transactions are written to disk during a normal server shutdown.
    • FULL – a complete recovery of committed transactions is possible after a crash.
  • Note: These options only apply to nonclustered Adaptive Server version 15.5 and later.
    Default location – Specify the default storage location to be used for remote tables if no storage location is provided via the stored procedure sp_addobjectdef. See the section on sysdatabases in the System Tables chapter of the Adaptive Server Reference Manual.

Usage
  • Table and index space – Sybase Control Center displays a graph of the space used by the tables and indexes of your database. Use these values to determine if you have enough unreserved space to accommodate new database objects.

    In Adaptive Server version 15.7 ESD#3, "Other" displays the space usage for the Object Allocation Map (OAM). For more information about OAM, see the System Administration Guide: Volume 2 for Adaptive Server Enterprise 15.7 ESD #2.
