Adaptive Server Enterprise


Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) (also known as "Sybase DB" or "Sybase ASE") is a relational DBMS developed by the Sybase Corporation in the 1980s.

History


Sybase’s main DBMS product was marketed as Sybase SQL Server and was co-developed for PC by Sybase, Microsoft, and Ashton-Tate. In, 1993, the co-development licensing agreement terminated, and Sybase and Microsoft continued developing their respective products. In 1996, Sybase changed the name of its product to Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) as a means to differentiate its SQL Server product from Microsoft SQL Server.

Storage Architecture[03]


The database runs entirely in the Adaptive Server memory space (cache), so neither log nor data is ever written to disk, and I/O is not required. Its performance can be better than a disk-oriented database, at the cost of durability; in the event of memory failure, the database cannot be recovered.
