Earlier versions of Adaptive Server were sold either at the Enterprise Level or the Workplace Level. Beginning with Adaptive Server version 12.5.0.1, Adaptive Server is available in the Enterprise Edition, the Small Business Edition, and the Developer’s Edition. The Enterprise Edition of Adaptive Server is a full-featured server that can run all optional features. The Small Business Edition of Adaptive Server includes the features required by most small businesses, but excludes some of the more advanced features. The Developer’s Edition is designed for you to design and build applications for Adaptive Server in a development environment.
In addition to offering the three editions of Adaptive Server, Sybase also offers a series of options. Some of these option are intended for an enterprise-level site, and are not available in the Small Business Edition. Table 4-1 describes the availability of each option. For a full description of each option, see your sales representative.
