System Databases

The table provides an overview of the implementation of Sybase and Microsoft system databases.



Database item
Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (SQL Server 10+)
Microsoft SQL Server 7.0


Comments
Stored Procedures Stored in the sybsystemprocs database. Stored in the master database. Change references from sybsystemprocs to master.
Memory Management Beginning with System 11, user-defined data caches allow each user to create an area of data cache that can be reserved for specific objects. Dynamic memory management techniques eliminate the need for administrative configuration of memory.  
Information about the oldest open transaction The syslogshold table records the oldest open transaction. The DBCC OPENTRAN statement records the oldest open transaction. Replace all references to syslogshold with DBCC OPENTRAN logic.
