Great workgroup RDMS at a fair price
We use SQL Anywhere with our GeoGraphix software for oil and gas exploration. It has been a workhorse RDMS for us for almost 25 years. It's fully ANSI SQL compliant, performs well, and handles relatively large data volumes (10,000,000 records per table). It also scales easily from a single consultant's desktop to an oil and gas major or NOC.
- Good performance with relatively large data sets - its cost-based query optimizer is particularly robust
- ANSI SQL compliant
- Supports T-SQL
- Scales well between the desktop (single user) and client/server installations supporting 50-1000 users
- Small user base makes finding information difficult.
- Third-party vendors don't support native connections to SQL Anywhere (TIBCO, ESRI). Although direct ODBC connections can be used successfully.
SAP SQL Anywhere is used across our organization. It is the database for our Point of Sale system. We have a rather small amount of data coming from 70 stores. SQL Anywhere helps us organize POS data, analyze and share. We find it fast and usually problem-free. It is also easy to get data through ODBC.
- It is fast
- User friendly interface
- Affordable cost
- User interface is a little bit outdated
- May have some issues in connecting to different versions
- When syntax check enabled, the editor could be slow

Sybase SQL Anywhere - better than a kick in the pants
We use SAP SQL Anywhere as the database for our core line-of-business application. We have both stand-alone and multi-user (enterprise) installations of this application. It is the repository of all our major transactional data, and as such is also the source for our data warehouse, which is a separate platform and environment.
- SQL compliant
- ODBC drivers available
- Simple implementation
- Seems a lesser implementation of SQL than T-SQL / SQL Server
- Desktop version (vs. enterprise version) seems underpowered, like Access vs MS SQL rather than a desktop edition of an enterprise database
- Fewer experienced resources available with Sybase skills

A fair SQL database management software
We utilize this software to be able to host our own software as a database service so that our customers can use it.
- The ability to host network database services and the ability to manage them.
- Some features seem hard to use and do not have a clear reason what it is used for.

SQL Anywhere
SQL is a global platform for any DB machine, and my ability to use SQL Anywhere across all DB platforms gives me the edge to get real time data, fast and deliverable, and easy to use when you understand your requirement as a function analyst to leverage such skills across all databases. I have used SQL Anywhere across MS, Oracle, Postgres and MySQL platforms, and I will say its a great skill to have and use.
I recently consulted for a company that already used MS DB and were thinking of switching its DB to SQL Anywhere. One of the challenges was the migration of stored procedures. These procedures will have to be evaluated and validated and probably re-written to suit current needs that they serve.

- It queries large set of data and has a speedy run time.
- With the rate at which data is going with Internet of All things, SQL Anywhere cuts across database applications outside of traditional data centers in which department data's are stored.
- The amazing thing about SQL Anywhere is the relational standard it maintains as a structured language that works across any DB. Yes, you might need to adopt some changes within the environment DB you are working; however, its important to know SQL itself to help archive data goals.
- I think it should be more user friendly for non-technical users.
- More functional functionalities should be added to the object explore when working with a table to transform data/manipulate data.
