Unicode datatype support
EAServer 5.3 now supports Open Client 12.5 Unicode datatype. The primary
goal of the Unicode datatype feature is to make it possible to use
unichar or
univarchar in place of the traditional character datatype char or varchar.
This Unicode support handles the Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) new
features and datatypes in creating a connection cache using the EAServer
manager.
Upgrade to Eclipse 3.0.1
EAServer 5.3 upgrades the current Eclipse plug-ins to support Eclipse 3.0.1. It
provides the corresponding plug-ins using the Plug-in Development
Environment (PDE) tool.
This tool provides a number of views and editors that makes it easier to build
and manage plug-ins for Eclipse. Using PDE, you can create your plug-in
manifest file (plugin.xml), specify your plug-in runtime, and indicate other
required plug-ins. It also handles the tasks of writing the changes to the right
files.
The Eclipse SDK supports the Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) locals on
Windows, GIMP toolkit (GTK) and Motif Window systems, the official
Chinese character set (GB18030), German, and Japanese locales.
Upgrade to Adaptive Server Anywhere 9.0.2 (ASA
9.0.2)
EAServer 5.3 now uses ASA 9.0.2.
Note ASA is not an installable option and will only be installed together with
the EAServer samples.
