Sybase SQL Anywhere Database Server 8 is a lightweight, embeddable relational database designed for desktop, mobile, and remote/branch office applications. It provides full ACID compliance, SQL and stored procedure support, and a self-managing engine that requires minimal administration. Version 8 includes built-in data synchronization (MobiLink and SQL Remote) for occasionally connected environments, strong security options including encryption, and cross-platform support. It offers ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, and .NET connectivity, robust backup and recovery, and performance features well suited to ISVs and distributed systems. Although now a legacy release, SQL Anywhere 8 remains a stable choice for maintaining existing deployments that prioritize a small footprint and reliability.
