   Sybase SQL Server handles all data management and transaction functions, independent of client applications and user interface functions. SQL Server manages multiple databases and multiple users, keeps track of the actual location of data on disks, maintains mapping of logical data description to physical data storage, and maintains data and procedure caches in memory.  Sybase SQL Server runs on a variety of hardware and operating system platforms. Operating system-specific issues do not affect the basic functionality of SQL Server, but there are some differences among platform implementations.
