Observation:
1. For compressed backup , only works with option : with compression=""
2. If we have taken the backup with with compression="" option, we no need to specify the the compression level during load database.
3. We can perform the dbcc on recent dump files of the databases, without hampering the performance of the prodduction database.
4. We can also object level recovery using the Archive Database.
5. For mapping the dump stipes , it makes sysaltusages table in scratch database.
Testing:
1> dump database test_db to "/data/sybase/testing_host/dump/test_db.dmp1"
2> stripe on "/data/sybase/testing_host/dump/test_db.dmp2" with compression="4"
3> go
Backup Server session id is: 131. Use this value when executing the 'sp_volchanged' system stored procedure after fulfilling any
volume change request from the Backup Server.

ASE Interview Questions!
What is Identity Colum?
What is the advantage and disadvantage of Identity coloums?
From performnace point of view ,which is better if exists or if not exists?
How can we avoid fragmentation in table?
There is update statement on one APL and one DOL table. Which one would be fatser?Consider the cases: where clause on index cluster index coloum , other case not using any index.
Why the reorg is faster on DOL table as compare cluster index rebuild on APL?
Wht cluster index with sorted_data on APL is faster than reorg rebuild in DOL?
What is Sybase recommendation for tempdb size, suppose we have 300GB , 150GB dbs are inserver, wht would be the sybase recommendation for sizing of tempdb?
Whats the difference between dsysnc and direct io?
Suppose we are not concerning about the recovery of the database, which would be better for performance dsync(on/off) or direct io and why?
Whats the asynchronus prefetch ? How is it helping in performance enhance?
We having a 4k page size server, what can be possible pool size in the server?
As Sybase recommends 4K size pool for log usage in 2k page size server , please let me know the pool recommendtaion for 4K pagesize server?
