Hi, Does anyone know where I can find a guide to performance tuning and ASA-9? Sometime download link. I did several searches and only meeting to version 11 and / or higher I need advanced technical guide to go along DBA's.

I do not know one particular whitepaper, but Breck maintains this great list of technical documents here:

Tales From The Doc Face - SQL Anywhere Technical Documents

While the custom search for "performance" was not that helpful in my case, simply searching for "performance" on this page does list a bunch of documents, and fortunately Breck has usually listed the related versions, too. Resume: There are several docs on v8/v9 listed - you may have a read:)

@Volker Barth, Is there any official documentation from Sybase?

I can' tell that - however, IMHO Breck's list is by far the best list to look for documentation on SQL Anywhere (besides the great online documentation, of course), and most entries there are official Sybase material.

Hi, thanks for the help. I'm developing a survey by the College and is based on the database sybase (ASA-9). How does the recording of the indexes in sybase, I know that is recorded in a table, but as the "optimizer" knows whether or not to use the index to search in?
