Most(All?) of our applications run on xterms and vt100's, accessing the
same dataservers.  When accessing the dataserver from the vt100's(the
xterms as well, I guess) you may want to redefine some of your keys,
e.g., the function keys, etc.  And of course, you need to set up
your environment variables appropriately(which you have to do anyway,
right? ;-)

The one thing that will cause you problems is if you did your APT
screen design in xterms and allowed for forms greater than 77 characters
in width.  Application screens that are more than 77 characters in
width will *bomb* when run in vt100 mode.  Also, even if your screens
are no more than 77 characters in width . . . . if your menu items
(all totalled together) are greater than 77 characters(which can 
happen even if the screen is only 77) your screen will also *bomb*.

Moral of the story, test all screens in vt100 mode before going 
productional . . . duh!? ;-)

Mark

p.s. -- APT 5.0 will allow you to define the max width of a screen
	for any terminal type soooooooo, you could set the default
	to 77 characters(xterms and vt100s) and not worry about
	possible problems.

Be *VERY* careful with this type of product. They almost always make
use of undocumented/unsupported entry points. Call tech support and
ask what their reponse will be if there is corruption or a load failure
( e.g. "Bummer" ) this is the same response you will likely get from
the third party vendor.

PS Always make sure that you run a dump with data changes going on
and also bounce the server at odd places. You will be amused by 
what comes out from those type of tests.

No.

Create a new table and either bcp data out-in or use sp_rename ( and 
be careful with procs / triggers ref'ing it ).

Subject: Starting UNIX Processes
Organization: Tower Technology, Sydney
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 1992 05:59:59 GMT

A while back, a few people were talking about starting UNIX processes
(such as mail), from an open client process.

I had a similar requirement recently, and solved it as follows:

Windows programs talked to a Server on an RS/6000.
When the Windows programs wanted to start a UNIX process, they inserted
a row into a known table.

A daemon process on the RS/6000 just sat there polling periodically
looking for any rows in the known table (by using open-client on UNIX).
When it found a row, it ran the appropriate UNIX process via system(),
and then deleted the row.

This could just as easily have happened automatically on some condition
via a trigger.

Hope this helps someone.

Sybase uses its own published protocol called "Tabular Data Stream" or 
"TDS." This runs on top of the many different standard network 
protocols (e.g. TCP-IP, DecNet, etc.)

I don't know how you can get your hands on the published specs for
the TDS protocol -- your sales contact should be able to assist you
with this.  

However, Open Client is the standard method of accessing the SQL Server;
it is a (fairly) simple API that translates your requests into TDS 
sent over the network to the SQL Server.  Results are then read back
from the server in TDS; these results are translated and then made 
available via other Open Client API calls.

Hope this helps,

David

Yes.

The solution is "dump tran blah with no_log".

This is the unlogged version ( only use after filling up transaction log).

Subject: Notifying clients of table mods?
Organization: Lehman Brothers
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1992 18:53:08 GMT

I'm soliciting for ideas and comments on a Unix-based notification
system.

I have a potential appliation where I would like to notify distributed
client processes (LAN) that a table(s) was modified in a Sybase database.

I'd like to not use OpenClient at this point if at all possible.

My initial thought is to write a master process that polls a
"modifications" table (perhaps created via trigger(s)) that tracks what
was modified and then looking up in a "subscriber" table to see who to
notify.  Then, if needed, send some data via a socket (I'm assuming all
SPARC machines) to the appropriate subscribers.

Another thought would be to front-end all the queries and, upon
successful table modification, directly notify any clients (again
through sockets).  This alternative would seem to have performance
ramifications.

I'd appreciate any comments that any of you might have,

Frank G.

You can't change the definition of the table to prohibit nulls once
you've defined it to permit them. You can, however, do one of two
things:

1. Create a rule for the particular column that forbids nulls.
2. Modify the insert and update triggers (or create them) to check for
   nulls in this column. If it finds any it can roll back the
   transaction.

The effect is the same after you install the rule or trigger. Inserts
and updates will only succeed if the specific column is null.

Rules are quite powerful little beasts...

Date: 19 Dec 92 06:27:26 GMT
Organization: "Lockheed Austin Division, 6800 Burleson Rd, Austin, TX 78744

Would someone please clarify this for me?

I have a table which is populated by a program which reads a data
source, decodes the data, and calls stored procedures to do the
inserts. The following source fragment is relavent:

	dbcmd(dbproc, "exec insert_data");
	/* other dbfcmd calls omitted */

	dbsqlexec(dbproc);

	while ((result = dbresults(dbproc)) != NO_MORE_RESULTS)
	{
	    while (dbnextrow(dbproc) != NO_MORE_ROWS)
	    {
	    }
	}

Note that the inner while loop is empty. However, this basic
construct is what you find in TFM and sample programs. Now I know
that I can replace the inner loop with dbcanquery(), and the
documentation hints that I can replace the outter loop with
dbcancel(), but I am not sure.

dbcancel() says that it sends a signal to the server to stop
processing the current command batch and discard any results. Since
I am just doing inserts, I don't really care about the results.
However, I am not sure what delimits the "current" command batch,
and I might not want to cancel THAT.

Does anyone KNOW how this works? Particularly if the command batch
DOES contain several statements (all INSERTs in this case).

Unless you use the "with no_log" option on the dump tran command it is in fact

It's almost always better to dump to a local disk file first anyway, IMO...
then you can compress the dump.  Saves tape, lets you keep it longer, and
dumps much faster anyway.

We are planning to move to 4.9.1 from 4.8, and investigating the roll
back procedures if anything goes wrong.  Sybase tech support told us
that it would be a process of re-installing the 4.8 server, which had taken
us 3 days (for our 15 GB database). On the other hand, it is much easier to
roll back from EBFs. Does anybody have the experience?
