Databases currently running on a server are identified by a database name and a database ID number. The db_id and db_name functions provide information on these values.
A set of system functions provides information about properties of a currently running database, or of a connection, on the database server. These system functions take the database name or ID, or the connection name, as an optional argument to identify the database or connection for which the property is requested.
System functions are processed differently than other SAP Sybase IQ functions. When queries to SAP Sybase IQ tables include system functions, performance is reduced.
This table shows the Adaptive Server Enterprise system functions and their status in SAP Sybase IQ:
