Using ISQL to run the stored procedure scripts

ISQL is an interactive SQL utility that comes with the Open Client software on the Windows platforms. If you have ISQL installed, use the following procedure to run the PowerBuilder stored procedure scripts.

For complete instructions on using ISQL, see your Open Client documentation.

StepsTo use ISQL to run the PowerBuilder stored procedure scripts:

  1. Connect to the sybsystemprocs Adaptive Server database as the system administrator.

  2. Open one of the following files containing the PowerBuilder stored procedure script you want to run:

    • PBSYC.SQL

    • PBSYC2.SQL

  3. Issue the appropriate ISQL command to run the SQL script with the user ID, server name, and (optionally) password you specify. Make sure you specify uppercase and lowercase exactly as shown:

    isql /U sa /S SERVERNAME /i pathname /P { password }
    

    Parameter

    Description

    sa

    The user ID for the system administrator. Do not change this user ID.

    SERVERNAME

    The name of the computer running the Adaptive Server database.

    pathname

    The drive and directory containing the SQL script you want to run.

    password

    (Optional) The password for the sa (system administrator) user ID. The default Adaptive Server installation creates the sa user ID without a password. If you changed the password for sa during the installation, replace password with your new password.

    For example, if you are using PowerBuilder and are accessing the stored procedure scripts from the product CD-ROM, type either of the following (assuming D is your CD-ROM drive):

    isql /U sa /S TESTDB /i d:\server\pbsyb.sql /P 
    isql /U sa /S SALES /i d:\server\pbsyc.sql /P adminpwd
