The "prevent automatic upgrade" option is set to 0 on the ASE.
Also, if it was set to 1, would it not also prevent upgrades during load?
dbcc upgrade_object() on a database that has been upgraded to 16 gives no output. If I run it against a database that is still 15.7 I get loads of errors like:
Server 'ASETEST', Procedure 'inet_aro_imp_mat_spend_nav', Line 208:
#test not found. Specify owner.objectname or use sp_help to check whether the
object exists (sp_help may produce lots of output).
