The database server message log contains informational messages, errors, warnings, and messages from the MESSAGE statement. Logging the actions that the server takes is particularly useful during the development process and when troubleshooting.

These messages can appear in the following locations:

• the database server messages window (a system tray icon on Windows)
• the Sybase Central Server Messages And Executed SQL pane
• the SQL Anywhere Console utility
• the database server message log file
• a command prompt window or shell when running the database server as a command line application
• the Unix Syslog
