Properties available for each database

Database properties apply to an entire database. This section describes how to retrieve the value of a specific database property or the values of all database properties. For descriptions of all of the database properties, see "Database server properties" in SQL Anywhere Server – Database Administration. The server properties QueryBypassedCosted, QueryBypassedOptimized, QueryDescribedOptimizer, and StatementPostAnnotatesSimple are updated only for queries against SQL Anywhere tables.
