Database options

Database options control many aspects of database behavior. For example, you can use database options for the following purposes:

  • Compatibility   You can control how much like Adaptive Server Enterprise your SQL Anywhere database operates, and whether SQL that does not conform to SQL/2008 generates errors. See Compatibility options.

  • Error handling   You can control what happens when errors such as divide by zero errors occur.

  • Concurrency and transactions   You can control the degree of concurrency, and details of COMMIT behavior.
