Special Features for ASE

Sybase ASE has quite some special features that are not very well known. This page lists some of them (in alphabetical order) and provides a hyperlink to the white papers provided by Sybase. Some of the features have been significantly enhanced or extended after publication of the white paper. Please visit http://www.sybase.com for the latest documentation.

Depending on your ASE license, some of the features can only be used after you bought the appropiate licence key. Contact Sybase sales or support for more information.
