Adaptive Server Enterprise Global Variables Supported in SAP Sybase IQ

@@char_convert

Returns 0.

@@client_csname

In Adaptive Server Enterprise, the client’s character set name. Set to NULL if client character set has never been initialized; otherwise, contains the name of the most recently used character set. Returns NULL in SAP Sybase IQ.

@@client_csid

In Adaptive Server Enterprise, the client’s character set ID. Set to -1 if client character set has never been initialized; otherwise, contains the most recently used client character set ID from syscharsets. Returns -1 in SAP Sybase IQ.

@@connections

The number of logins since the server was last started.

@@cpu_busy

In Adaptive Server Enterprise, the amount of time, in ticks, that the CPU has spent performing Adaptive Server Enterprise work since the last time Adaptive Server Enterprise was started. In SAP Sybase IQ, returns 0.

@@error

Commonly used to check the error status (succeeded or failed) of the most recently executed statement. Contains 0 if the previous transaction succeeded; otherwise, contains the last error number generated by the system. A statement such as:

if @@error != 0 return

causes an exit if an error occurs. Every statement resets @@error, including PRINT statements or IF tests, so the status check must immediately follow the statement whose success is in question.

@@identity

In Adaptive Server Enterprise, the last value inserted into an IDENTITY column by an INSERT, LOAD, or SELECT INTO statement. @@identity is reset each time a row is inserted into a table. If a statement inserts multiple rows, @@identity reflects the IDENTITY value for the last row inserted. If the affected table does not contain an IDENTITY column, @@identity is set to 0. The value of @@identity is not affected by the failure of an INSERT or SELECT INTO statement, or the rollback of the transaction that contained the failed statement. @@identity retains the last value inserted into an IDENTITY column, even if the statement that inserted that value fails to commit.

@@idle

In Adaptive Server Enterprise, the amount of time, in ticks, that Adaptive Server Enterprise has been idle since the server was last started. In SAP Sybase IQ, returns 0.

@@io_busy

In Adaptive Server Enterprise, the amount of time, in ticks, that Adaptive Server Enterprise has spent performing input and output operations since the server was last started. In SAP Sybase IQ, returns 0.

@@isolation

Current isolation level of the connection. In Adaptive Server Enterprise, @@isolation takes the value of the active level.

@@langid

@@thresh_hysteresis
