BIGTIME and BIGDATETIME Support
Sybase IQ supports the Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) data types BIGTIME and BIGDATETIME for Component Integration Services (CIS) and INSERT...LOCATION.
Built-in Web Services Support
Sybase IQ provides built-in support for Web services, which allows you to listen to and handle standard SOAP and HTTP requests. You can use Web services as a SOAP or HTTP client to run applications within the database to access standard Web services or other Sybase IQ databases. Use SQL Anywhere stored functions and procedures to access SOAP and HTTP clients.
Distributed Query Processing
Distributed Query Processing (DQP) improves performance in IQ multiplex configurations by distributing query processing work across multiple nodes in the logical server.
Logical Servers
Logical servers provide resource provisioning capability for the Sybase IQ multiplex that lets you group together, and present, a subset of multiplex compute resources (in the unit of a multiplex node) as one logical entity.
Multiplex Interprocess Communication (MIPC)
MIPC is a fully meshed communication framework that supports distributed query processing and high availability for IQ multiplex servers.
Shared Temporary Stores
Shared temporary stores communicate and store temporary on-disk structures for distributed query processing.
Sybase Central IQ Agent RMI Authentication Layer
In Sybase Central IQ an authentication layer is implemented between the Sybase Central IQ Client and Sybase Central IQ Agent, which allows only authenticated clients to access the agent's Remote Method Invocation (RMI) methods.
