SQL 10 and 11 Support Lifecycle/End of life

[Former Member]

Hi,

What are the end of support dates for SQLA 10 and 11? What is the End of Life date?

I have found one for ASE at http://www.sybase.com/products/databasemanagement/adaptiveserverenterprise/productlifecycle but i can't find a similar one for SQLA.

Thanks,

Warren.

When we DO announce an end of engineering, we always provide at least a 1 year notice. We just shipped version 12 for Windows, Linux and Mac. We typically support 2 active versions. Therefore, you might expect that version 10 end of engineering could be announced in the not too distant future, to actually take place a year later.

AFAIK, SQL Anywhere 10.0.1 and 11.0.1 are "active" versions and have no publicly known End of Life date.

In the past, iAnywhere has usually supported at least 2 active major versions. E.g. 8.0.x was EOLed January 2008 and 9.0.x January 2010.

Some links as background:

• All active platforms: http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1002288
• All archived platforms: http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1023009
• As an example: The EOL note for ASA 9.0.x - as usually made public about a year before the EOL date: http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1061840

One might extrapolate that V10 will go EOL in January 2012, and V11 in January 2014.

Yeah, but the world is EOL in December 2012 anyway.

@Calvin - Ah, that's useful information - deals with a few issues I was concerned about!
