    Java-enabling a database

Ways of Java-enabling a database

You can Java-enable databases when you create them, when you upgrade them, or in a separate operation at a later time.

Creating databases 

You can create a Java-enabled database using:

• the CREATE DATABASE statement.

  For details of the syntax, see CREATE DATABASE statement.

• the dbinit utility.

  For details, see Creating a database using the dbinit command-line utility.

• Sybase Central.

  For details, see Creating a database.

Upgrading databases 

You can upgrade a database to a Java-enabled Version 9 database using:

• the ALTER DATABASE statement.

  For details of the syntax, see ALTER DATABASE statement.

• the dbupgrad.exe upgrade utility.

  For details, see Upgrading a database using the dbupgrad command-line utility.

• Sybase Central.

  For details, see Java-enabling a database.

If you choose not to install Java in the database, all database operations not involving Java operations remain fully functional and work as expected.
