Adaptive Server version 12 includes these new Component Integration Services (CIS) features:
New dbcc commands – dbcc cis showcaps and dbcc cis setcaps allow examination and modification of server capabilities.
Proxy databases – A proxy database is created containing proxy tables. Metadata for proxy tables is imported automatically from the remote location which contains the actual tables. This metadata is then used to create proxy tables within the proxy database.
Synchronizing proxy tables – Proxy tables in a proxy database can be resynchronized using the alter database command.
