A stored procedure is a group of SQL statements that perform a particular task, on a Sybase IQ server. In Sybase Central, stored procedures are located in the Procedures & Functions folder.
Opening a stored procedure in Sybase Central also opens a SQL editor that you can use to test and modify the procedure. The SQL editor provides:
Automatic syntax highlighting.
Automatic formulation of DDL statements.
Ability to find and replace text, and to jump to specific line numbers.
Ability to execute the DDL code against the database.
