Database size limit in Sybase Express edition I'm currently testing out the Sybase 16.0 Developer edition on RHEL. Turns out the limitation on the max. concurrent connections is a real problem for me, so I'd like to switch to the Express edition.

My main concerns are the following:


The documentation mentions a limitation of 5 GB as max. DB size. Does this mean I can have a 20 GB device with 4 x 5 GB databases inside or that an entire server in Express edition won't go past 5 GB total?
Will it be easy to migrate devices created in Developer edition into Express edition?
For anyone coming across this Q&amp;A ... the maximums for the ASE Express Edition were bumped up in early 2017.

Of interest:


max memory: unlimited
max db size: 50GB (this is actually the max size of all db devices combined)
max number of engines: 4


See ASE version comparison matrix for more details.
