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,4,Skilled/experienced resources are less prominent than Microsoft SQL Server or even Oracle, or MySQL, so finding solutions and assistance, if needed, takes more time than it would with other platforms
You will need to find a good SQL query tool by yourself because the Sybase Central / Interactive SQL utilities are lacking in many basic features, and just generally have a bad user interface,Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database and MySQL,Splunk Enterprise, NetSuite, SlackDavid WilliamsA fair SQL database management software2018-09-28T18:22:35.246ZWe 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.,8,The software is considered essential for our own software to flourish in the current market.Kishion GuyahSAP SQL Anywhere the most powerful for lighter business2018-10-09T14:36:05.300ZI as a SAP Consultant use SAP SQL Anywhere DB with multiple SAP as well as non-SAP products as support and implementation products. It's been completely used by a client's whole organization, where we were not in the situation to put much of the hardware resources, also we were not in the position to put extra manpower to manage the DB as with other DBs like Oracle, DB2, MSSQL, Sybase, HANA etc...,I will try to put in simple way- the best parts are this product is delivered as a default DB for some of the products and can be used as default we can say inbuilt DB delivered with complete setup and can be setup according to our needs.
It is simple to manage and use, very light weight, uses less resources hardware as well as manpower.
I would say it is the best DB to use for SAP BO system, smooth implementation, not much of the challenges too and easy to use with different workarounds.,Since I am using this DB and I can see the tremendous and improved functionality that has been delivered with each version, as a DBA you should expect this DB should support a huge amount of DBs like the way it can work with small scales.
Also I can see there are many features being delivered with each versions, which you should mark as disabled if you don't manually use or enable or configure them which will ultimately help to save the unnecessary usages of resources.,10,If you plan and setup in proper manner there is negligible negative impact.
As a positive impact - less utilisation of hardware as well as manpower resources to put on to manage DB, always being delivered with improved performance and new features.
As a negative impact, so far we use this DB only as a recommendation for particular products like SAP BO, Wily Interscope etc... where this DB is being delivered as built-i , so we have not much of the negative impact.,DB2 and Oracle Database,SAP Roambi, SAP Vora, IBM MaximoPradeep BeleSQL Anywhere2018-04-03T18:21:43.780ZSQL 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.,10,Nosa W.ISQL anywhere!2018-01-30T22:55:12.535ZThis database is used organization-wide as the back end to an ARM solution we use as well as a data warehouse for BI and reporting.,Easy to use
Interfaces well with third-party tools,No complaints,10,It provides us the ability to make fluid business decisions based on real-time data.,Oracle and MS SQL,SAP Crystal,30,1,ARM software, it's the heart of our operation and relies extensively on the database, thus we need a stable and reliable solution. We've run the solution on SQL anywhere for the better part of 12 years and had (knock on wood) no major issues.
We utilize SQL anywhere to draw data out of the database to provide to clients and business associates, the built in tools not only allows us easy export capabilities but easy access to import data into tables.
We utilize the database for data warehousing to meet all of our reporting needs, it meets or exceeds all of our needs.,I like to use SQL anywhere as a Data transformation tool, inserting data into temporary tables, transforming it and then exporting it out. Its fast, easy and allows me a ton of flexibility.,10,Yes,Continued SAP support
from a feature stand point, we are still new into this release so we haven't found all the benefits as of yet.,No,NoJeff Hieber
