The SYSOPTION system view contains one row for each option setting stored in the database.
Each user can have their own setting for a given option. In addition, settings for the PUBLIC user ID define the default settings to be used for users that do not have their own setting. The underlying system table for this view is ISYSOPTION.
The SYSOPTION view is a SQL Anywhere system view. See SQL Anywhere 11.0.1 > SQL Anywhere Server - SQL Reference > System Objects > Views > System views > SYSOBJECT system view.
