Chapter 1: Before You Start
What Works Better in Later Releases
One capacity improvement over this tested 5.5.3 configuration has been verified in a later release, shown below. No client compatibility improvement has been verified. The 5.5.4 cookbook verifies its matching engine, gateway and ASQL with the official Dharma 14.01 x86 driver, but its passing clients and reported limits do not demonstrate an increase over this edition.
Keep this edition's SQL and size limits and diagnostic settings with the configuration actually tested. Apart from the row below, a later release number alone is not a verified remedy.
| Capability or capacity | This edition | Verified later configuration and procedure |
|---|---|---|
| Longest SQL name | 32 characters, although the driver reports 64. | 64 characters with the 6.2.1 64-bit engine, gateway and supplied driver and 64-bit clients, measured 2026-10-20. See 6.2.1 64-bit SQL name rules. The 6.2.1 32-bit configuration has not been measured. |
