New Features in SP2

SAP Sybase IQ 16.0 SP2 includes several new features.

• Multiplex High Availability
  In the event of a coordinator failure, local SCC IQ agents can now automatically restart any server in the multiplex, start a new coordinator, or perform automatic failover.
• Cache Dbspace for Direct-Attached Storage
  Use the cache dbspace to add direct-attached storage devices, such as high-performance solid-state disks (SSDs), to your multiplex nodes or simplex server. Local direct-attached storage provides an SSD buffer pool extension to your database, which can improve I/O performance in general, and shared SAN device performance in particular.
• LOAD TABLE Supports Loading from Compressed .gzip or .gz Files
  The FROM clause of the LOAD TABLE statement now supports loading external files compressed with .gzip file compression.
