To avoid reserved word conflicts, all users on the server must invoke the

quoted_identifier

option in all stored procedures and queries that include the

reserved words.

Preparing the database and devices for the upgrade

If you ran the pre-upgrade option in

preupgrade

, the utility scanned the system

catalogs and calculated how much additional space you need to perform the
upgrade.

If you did not run the pre-upgrade check, you must manually calculate how
much free space you must add to your system catalogs and databases.As a
general rule, you must double the size of the largest catalog that you are going
to upgrade, and add approximately 10 percent more to calculate the free space
required for the upgrade to succeed. For example, if you have a large number
of stored procedures or compiled object in any database, the

syscomments

and

sysprocedures

catalogs will require additional space.

Note

Sybase recommends that you use

preupgrade

to determine how much

free space is required for the upgrade.

Increasing default database sizes

You can use

sp_helpdb

or Sybase Central to determine the current size of the

master

,

model

,

sybsystemprocs

, and

tempdb

databases.

To enlarge the

master

,

tempdb

, and

model

databases:

1

In

isql

, use

alter database

to increase the size of the

master

database. For

example:

1> use master

2> go

1> alter database master on master=x

2> go

This example increases the size of the

master

database; x is the number of

megabytes of space added to the existing database size.

2

Repeat this step to increase the size of each of the

tempdb

and the

model

databases. For example:

1> alter database tempdb on master=x

2> go

1> alter database model on master=x
