We use Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere 8 here and the thing that
annoys me about it is exactly this. You can't modify any database
objects (AFAICT) while there are other connections. I have to script
things and schedule them to run in the middle of the night.
There "Enterprise" product is apparently a completely different
animal, so it is probably better.
