Using SQL Anywhere tools in Visual Studio .NET

Some SQL Anywhere tools are incorporated into Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 to create an integrated database development environment for both SQL Anywhere and UltraLite databases.

  • You can use the SQL Anywhere Explorer to view tables and data in those tables, and design programs to open connections to that database for data manipulation and retrieval. The SQL Anywhere Explorer is available from the View menu.

  • You can open Sybase Central and Interactive SQL without having to leave Visual Studio .NET. Sybase Central and Interactive SQL are available from the Tools menu.

Note

For UltraLite development you cannot add adapters for views nor commands for stored procedures; these features are only available to SQL Anywhere databases.
