Data in the system tables is only viewable by querying the system views; you cannot query a system table directly. With a few exceptions, each system table has a corresponding view.
The system views are named similar to the system tables, but without an I at the beginning. For example, to view the data in the ISYSTAB system table, you query the SYSTAB system view.
For a list of views provided in SQL Anywhere and a description of the type of information they contain, see System views.
You can either use Sybase Central or Interactive SQL to browse system view data.
Use the SQL Anywhere 12 plug-in to connect to the database as a user with DBA authority.
In the left pane, double-click Views.
Select the view corresponding to the system table.
In the right pane, click the Data tab.
Connect to the database as a user with DBA authority.
Execute a SELECT statement that references the system view corresponding to the system table.
