Everywhere we turn this year, we see database technology companies continuing to grow and expand with new offerings for improving computer systems to help you support your company’s important business decisions.
This month’s newsletter describes 3 database technologies that offer new promise for improving performance: Sybase® ASE 15.7, Sybase® IQ 15.4, and Microsoft SQL Server® 2012 RC0.
Sybase® ASE.15.7
On September 13th this year, Sybase announced availability of Sybase® Adaptive Server Enterprise® (ASE) 15.7. This is exciting news for our database community. According to Carl Olofson, research vice president at IDC, "Sybase has made significant enhancements to optimize data storage and increase developer productivity in ASE 15.7." "These new features . . . add to ASE’s already impressive total cost of ownership."
ASE 15.7 (the most feature-rich release in their history), is offering many new capabilities. Some of the most important ones include:
- Analyzing Dynamic Parameters
- Compressing Data in Adaptive Server
- Creating Non-materialized, Non-null Columns
- Cursor changes
- ERP certification on Sybase ASE
- Expanded Variable-Length Rows
- Fully Recoverable DDL
- Large objects changes
- Like Pattern matching changes
- Nested select statement enhancements
- New Adaptive Server Kernel
- New security features
- Retaining monitoring data
- Select for update changes

Sybase® IQ 15.4
Sybase has also launched the new version of the Sybase IQ high performance column-based analytics database. Sybase IQ® 15.4 is addressing the new generation of Big Data. DBA’s and database developers can use this version to store large amounts of unstructured data, and web log information. Sybase tells us we’ll be able to use a "have it your way" approach.
Some new capabilities to consider are: a native MapReduce API, Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML) support, and integration with Hadoop. You will be able to federate a query between IQ and Hadoop. The new APIs will allow developers to implement in-database algorithms with greater performance results.
PMML capabilities will work with predictive models in industry-standard analytics tools, and then be able to automate their execution in Sybase IQ. These features can also be combined with text and multimedia analytics, using a range of techniques for analyzing big data.
Some other advantages with this new version are:
- New Java API and new extensions to the C++ APIs, allows implementation of high performance proprietary or certified ISV algorithms in-database.
- In-database analytics simulation environment eases development and testing.
- Compression of text data works well with other big data scenarios.
- Faster bulk loading of large data sets works through ODBC and JDBC interfaces
