Part VI. SQL Anywhere Reference

Chapter 39. SQL Anywhere Components

This chapter presents reference information on the programs and database administration utilities that are part of SQL Anywhere. The utilities can be accessed from Sybase Central, from ISQL, or as command-line programs.

For comprehensive documentation on Sybase Central, see the Sybase Central online Help. For an introduction to the Sybase Central database administration tool, see the chapter "Managing Databases with Sybase Central". For information on the SQL Anywhere Service Manager, see the chapter "Running Programs as Services".

The SQL Anywhere programs use a set of system environment variables. These variables are described in "Registry entries and environment variables".

The SQL Anywhere programs also use a standard set of return codes. These return codes are described in "Software component return codes".

SQL Anywhere for Unix platforms The syntax for starting SQL Anywhere components on Unix platforms differs slightly from other platforms. On Unix platforms such as Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, HPUX or QNX, SQL Anywhere programs are executed with commands typed in the lower case, and program files do not have an .EXE suffix.Versions of SQL Anywhere for Unix platforms have only the command line utilities, a character mode ISQL utility and a standalone version of the database available.
