New Unix File System Device Support
In release 12.0, Sybase introduced the dsync option of the disk init command.
This option guarantees that writes to database devices placed on Unix file
systems are performed by the operating system as soon as the server flushes the
data. In the past, the server might log a write, but the operating system buffered
the data. If the system went down, the server had no way to recover the buffered
data that was lost.
The
dsync option could cause a performance problem in some cases. If you
place
tempdb on a file system, you should consider disabling dsync on that
device. For more information about using the
dsync option to protect data on
Unix file systems, see the
System Administration Guide at

Changes to dbids
In ASE 12, the dbids of the following databases start at 31513:
•
dbccalt
• dbccdb
• sybsecurity
• sybsystemdb
• sybsystemprocs
If you drop and recreate these databases after an upgrade, ASE applies these
new
dbids. The dbids for all other databases are determined in the same way as
in earlier versions.
Note If you perform an upgrade in place, that is, you upgrade without
rebuilding your system, you should not see any change in
dbid between
versions. This is an issue only if your maintenance scripts use these IDs and
you build a new system from scratch, which will then use the new ID
conventions.
