Adaptive Server® Enterprise, ASE

The term Adaptive Server® Enterprise or ASE in short denotes a suite, i.e a collection of so called client/server applications which enable a user to create, operate and administer relational databases

ASE databases

Adaptive Server®, also called dataserver, can contain multiple databases which are needed, among others to administer the server. These databases are known under the collective term "system databases". Besides these system databases ASE contains so called "user databases", storing the respective data of external applications.

Connecting to ASE databases using isql/jisql

In order to connect to an ASE dataserver using a client application like isql or jisql, a valid user name and password is needed, called a login. After successfully connecting to ASE, the user login will be passed to a default database. In general this will be a user database where the user login has been registered as a valid database user with its corresponding server login. A connection to Adaptive Server® is called session.
