Adaptive Server® Enterprise performs data management and transaction
functions, independent of client applications and user
interface functions.
Adaptive Server also:
- Manages multiple databases and multiple users
- Keeps track of the data’s location on disks
- Maintains the mapping of logical data description to
physical data storage
- Maintains data and procedure caches in memory
Adaptive Server uses these auxiliary programs to perform dedicated
tasks:
- Backup Server manages database load, dump, backup, and
restoration activities.
- XP Server stores the extended stored procedures (ESPs)
that allow Adaptive Server to run operating system
and user-defined commands.
Note: These instructions assume that Adaptive Server is installed and running. For
information about installing and starting Adaptive Server, as well as for an overview of
Adaptive Server, see the Adaptive Server Installation Guide for your
platform.
Adaptive Server Enterprise is a full-featured Adaptive
Server that runs on:
