SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise
SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (SAP ASE) is a relational database management system developed by SAP. It was previously known as Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise or Sybase ASE until SAP acquired Sybase. When people refer to the Sybase database, they generally mean Sybase Adaptive Server, not Sybase SQL Anywhere.
We support Sybase Adaptive Server (ASE) directly in our products! You don't need separate drivers and can immediately connect to your database.
Originally, the product was called Sybase SQL Server. Microsoft ported Sybase SQL Server to IBM OS/2 in 1988, and both Sybase and Microsoft sold and supported the product until their co-development licensing agreement ended in 1993.
After the agreement ended, the codebases diverged. Microsoft continued development and released Microsoft SQL Server, while Sybase continued developing its own product under the name Sybase SQL Server.
In 1996 Sybase was forced to rename its product to Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise in order to avoid confusion with Microsoft SQL Server.
Sybase ASE is a powerful database system and is especially popular in financial institutions. SAP has encouraged customers running SAP ERP on Oracle to migrate to SAP ASE, although such migrations can be complex, risky, and expensive for large enterprise environments with many business processes.
SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise data types we support
Export SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise Database
It may make sense to migrate your data away from SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise. You may want to do it permanently or just need to share your tables with a collague in a different format.
We will copy all your tables with their data and apply indexing and relationships exactly as they are in your current SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise database. In a nutshell, you get exactly the same database in another database engine. Each time you run the migration, we will copy all the tables again. Of course, we have a built-in scheduler, so you can run this overnight and have a fresh database copy in the morning.
Take a look at the quick tutorials below to see how it's done.
Import data into SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise Database
Additionally, if you want to import data on a regular basis and do not want to recreate the whole target database from scratch every time, but rather do tiny targeted sync of only changes since the last run, please use Full Convert Pro or Ultimate.
