SQL Server Pro brings Web tools to Windows NT

Abstract

Sybase Inc.'s SQL Server Professional for Windows NT, Version 11.1 is reviewed. Sybase went above and beyond the SQL Server 11 engine and included high-quality components for building data-enabled Web applications, producing reports, modeling data, and managing the system. SQL Server Professional for Windows NT embraces most standard data types, including various numeric, character, and binary large object types. The product boasts impressive architectural specifications, including databases as large as 32 terabytes, unlimited-length stored procedures, and as many triggers as disk space will allow. Unfortunately, the underlying SQL database engine has not changed with this release and does not yet support objects or rich data types.
