The beta version supports Internet security and directory services, enhancing application developer productivity by supporting technologies needed for rapid building and deploying of e-business applications.
"These features reduce downtime for critical Internet and online transaction processing in addition to making ASE easier to use for database administrators," says Sybase SA marketing manager Julie Tomlinson. "This is the first time a database incorporates a query facility that can search XML documents stored in the database, in a file, or remotely from a URL."
ASE 12.5's new Internet security and directory services, Unicode support and management of unstructured data are designed to ensure that private data communications and storage stay private. ASE 12.5 features both Secure Sockets Layer link protection and row-level security.
New e-Business productivity enhancements allow developers to quickly integrate XML-based applications with the database and allow Java developers to quickly create business rules and execute Enterprise Java Bean components in the database.
The beta version is currently available on several platforms, including Linux.
