Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere 8.0

Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA) by Sybase, Inc. is a full-featured relational database designed for embedded, mobile, and distributed applications. Known for its small footprint and self-managing architecture, ASA delivers reliable, SQL-based data management where continuous connectivity or large administrative teams aren’t practical. It is widely used by ISVs and enterprises to power remote, branch, and edge solutions, and is part of the SQL Anywhere family (later branded SAP SQL Anywhere).

Key capabilities:

• Robust SQL engine: ACID transactions, cost-based optimization, stored procedures, triggers, views, and referential integrity.
• Lightweight and self-tuning: Minimal administration, efficient resource use, and easy deployment for OEM/embedded scenarios.
• Cross-platform support: Runs on Windows, Linux, and various UNIX platforms, with connectivity via ODBC, JDBC, and .NET.
• Synchronization and replication: Built-in technologies such as MobiLink and SQL Remote support occasionally connected users with conflict detection and resolution.
• Security: Options for database and network encryption, authentication, and granular permissions to protect data at rest and in transit.
• Resilience and backup: Online backup/restore, recovery logging, and configuration options that support high availability requirements.
• Developer-friendly features: Standards-based SQL with a procedural dialect, external procedures (e.g., Java, C/C++), an event scheduler, and a built-in HTTP server for exposing web services.
• Administration tools: Sybase Central, Interactive SQL, and command-line utilities streamline monitoring, tuning, and maintenance.

Typical use cases include point-of-sale systems, field service and mobile workforce solutions, packaged business applications, and branch-office databases that need reliable local processing with periodic synchronization to central systems.
