Introduction to Adaptive Server Anywhere
Adaptive Server Anywhere applications
Sybase Central provides a graphical user interface for creating and modifying databases and database objects, for inspecting the structure of databases, and for database server administration.
Sybase Central lets you perform such tasks as creating a new database, adding a table, or adding a column to a table.
For information on using Sybase Central, see Lesson 2: Connect to your database.
The Sybase Central window is similar to Windows Explorer. The main window is split into two vertically-aligned panes. The left pane displays a hierarchical view of database objects or containers in a tree-like structure. A container is a database object that can hold other database objects, including other containers.
The right pane displays the contents of the container that has been selected in the left pane. For example, to view a list of tables in the database, expand the Adaptive Server Anywhere 9 plug-in icon in the left pane, and then open the Tables folder in the left pane. A list of tables in the database appears on the Tables tab in the right pane.
