Sybase offers various optional features for Adaptive Server, such as data compression, partitions, and encrypted columns.
- Data compression – Enables compression for regular and large object data, which uses less storage space for the same amount of data, reduces cache memory consumption, and improves performance due to lower I/O demands.
- Security
and directory services – Provides lightweight directory services and network-based authentication
and encryption using SSL and Kerberos.
- Partitions – Enables semantic partitioning for table
row data.
- Encrypted columns – Increases security parameters and allows for addition of datatypes.
- Tivoli Storage Manager – Enables the database to back up and restore operations to IBM Tivoli Storage Manager.
- In-memory database – Provides zero-disk-footprint in-memory database support that is fully integrated
with Adaptive Server for high-performance transactional applications.
Provides performance enhancements to disk-resident databases with relaxed
durability properties.
Adaptive Server editions and optional features are unlocked
by SySAM licenses. See the Sybase
