Installing SQL Anywhere

Sybase SQL Anywhere is a fully-featured relational database and data management tool. The SQL Anywhere installation is restricted to development use only. Deployed systems require a separate SQL Anywhere license or the SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition (see “SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition”).

The SQL Anywhere installation includes MobiLink, a session-based synchronization system that allows two-way synchronization between a main database and many remote databases, and the Sybase Central database management tool.

SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition

PowerBuilder also includes the SQL Anywhere for Windows royalty-free runtime edition (the “SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition”). The SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition is a restricted-functionality version of the standalone version of SQL Anywhere. For example, the SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition does not support stored procedures and triggers, transaction logs, and synchronization.

The SQL Anywhere setup program included on the PowerBuilder installation DVD installs the SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition by default. For more information, including the list of Redistributable Components of the SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition, see the RuntimeEdition.html file in the main SQL Anywhere 11 directory.

The SQL Anywhere setup program installs the SQL Anywhere developer edition in default drives and directories unless you specify otherwise. If a directory you specify does not exist, the setup program creates it.
