Database Backup & Restore Q's
hi, forum: I am a rusty Sybase user, and just received sybase solaris dumps from a client.
Sybase version -> 12.5.4 - Adaptive Server Enterprise/12.5.4/EBF 14065 ESD#3/P/Sun_svr4/OS 5.8/ase1254/2030/64-bit/FBO/Sat Oct 14 07:19:31 2006
Solaris version -> 5.8 Generic_117350-10
I have two questions:
1) I have installed sybase v.15 - can I easily restore an earlier db version to this version? Anything special to do?
2) Being that it is a SYBASE Windows platform, can I restore a Solaris DB Dump to a Windows Sybase server? If yes, how?
Please advise asap! Many thanks!

Well, here's the answer......
I guess there isn't much audience for Sybase anymore:
I figured I will post my learned answer here, since I hate getting dead-on Google hits with my search words, and no answers!
THe answer to the above question is YES!!
I was actually amazed how v.15 could read the files and pick up the header info that brought it from 12.5, AND from a Solaris cross-platform to an x86 windows environment!!
SYBASE support couldn't(wouldn't?) answer this for me.
But some successful experimentation proved its salt.
Caveat, I understand that the x-platform thing is only on sybase 12.5 and above.
Hope that helps!
