SQL Anywhere provides three methods to administer your system: Sybase Central, Interactive SQL, and command-line utilities. In most cases, the choice of which tool to use is your preference. The majority of tasks, such as connecting to a database, are supported by all three methods.
The tutorials and introductory materials listed in this section use all three methods to create and manage SQL Anywhere databases.
For an overview of Sybase Central and Interactive SQL, see Design and management tools.
Tutorial: Using the sample database
This tutorial walks you through starting a database server, displaying the database server messages window, and stopping the database server.
Additional information For a list of the most common options to use when starting a database, or database server, see Some common options.
