Re: What exactly is the difference between the SPXX and the SPXXX series?
Not sure why you would say that. It is no different than years ago when we had multiple codelines active. Not everyone is in a hurry to upgrade to new features. Some just need bug fixes on their...
View ArticleRe: What exactly is the difference between the SPXX and the SPXXX series?
Yeah, I was a little confused (initially), too. Do I consider 50 < 102, or SP5 > SP1 ? (numerical sorting vs character sorting) Will get more confusing if/when they get to SP5xx (eg, is SP501...

Just to clarify, you cannot dump and load a 2k pagesize dump into a 4k pagesize server. You must use sybmigrate and/or bcp.

Just a fyi, the *default* block size for Linux is 4k for the ext3 and ext4 file systems. You can actually use larger block sizes with ext4 or other file systems.
