ASE Cluster Edition Featured on Sun's Homepage
I just found out that ASE Cluster Edition is being featured on the sun.com homepage. Pretty sweet!
Here is a link to the featured story.

glibc Compatibility Problem Solved
I am happy to say that we have fixed a nuisance compatibility issue.
As many of you know ASE has trouble getting along with glibc 2.4 or newer. This has led to the oft referenced LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable solution to get ASE to boot on SLES 10 and RHEL 5. It has also caused ASE to simply not work on many of the bleeding edge distros.
I am happy to say that this is now solved. The work was done under CR 479363 and is available in 15.0.2 ESD #4 and 15.0.1 Cluster Edition ESD #2. The LD_POINTER_GUARD workaround is no longer necessary and Chris Brown has posted that he has finally been able to upgrade to Ubuntu Hardy.

Thinking About Clusters
It’s been quite a while since you’ve heard from me - almost a year. It has been some year...most notably due the four releases of ASE Cluster Edition that we’ve done. (Beta, Beta Refresh, GA, and ESD #1 for those keeping score). Before I joined engineering, I didn’t have a good appreciation for the amount of work that goes into doing a release - I’ve got a pretty good idea now. :)
Alas, this post is supposed to be about clusters, not sleep deprivation, so here we go…
As you’ve no doubt heard we released a shared disk cluster version of ASE known as Cluster Edition. There is a lot of be discussed under the umbrella of Cluster Edition and database clusters in general. I’d rather not blog about what is already out there, so I’ll provide a few links as a jumping off point:

SySAM, take 3
First things first, I want to wish everyone a belated 'Happy Holidays' and wish everyone a 'Happy New Year'. 2007 was a busy year for me, and as we start off 2008, my gut tells me it's going to be just as busy as last year if not more so. Now, having said that, I wanna blog about SySAM one more time.

Databases without Firewalls?
This morning while doing my morning ritual - drinking my coffee and reading news sites first thing - I stumbled across a ComputerWorld article discussing database servers and how many "lack a firewall". It's presented as a huge problem, and some news sites that have linked to the article are making a big big deal out of it. But is it? Read on for my thoughts:

SySAM, take 2
Recently, I was added to an internal email alias that sends out a message when support cases on ASE15 are opened. Watching these emails come and go throughout the day has been very, very interesting. One thing I've noticed is that there are a lot of SySAM and SPDC (Sybase Product Download Center) questions / issues of late. Read on for some thoughts and pointers.

Techwave Info
I’ve captured some key points from some of the keynotes from 1st and 2nd days. Don’t hold me accountable for the numbers as the keynote was pretty early in the morning for Las Vegas and I could be hearing things --).
