Easy command access   The File menu in Sybase Central automatically updates when you select an object, providing commands related directly to that object. You can also right-click an object to access these commands.

Task wizards   If you want to add a new object, Sybase Central provides you with wizards that walk you through the task step by step.

Drag-and-drop functionality   Sybase Central supports drag-and-drop functionality for many operations. For example, if you want to copy tables to a different database, you can click and drag them to that location. See Copying database objects in the SQL Anywhere 12 plug-in.

Keyboard shortcuts   Many commonly-used commands have keyboard shortcuts; these shortcuts are listed beside the command names in the menus. See Sybase Central keyboard shortcuts.

Plug-in support   You can manage a variety of database products and tools by using plug-ins. From within Sybase Central, you can get additional information about using and configuring a plug-in by choosing the plug-in name from the Help menu.
