Sybase Central is a database management tool that provides a graphical user interface for administering SQL Anywhere. Sybase Central can also be used for managing other products, including MobiLink synchronization.
Once you complete this tutorial, you will be able to perform key tasks associated with the database server: starting and stopping the server, running single and multiple databases on a database server, and connecting to a database.
