Using the Code Editor

The Code Editor appears as a SQL tab in the right pane of Sybase Central, as a separate window in Sybase Central, and as the SQL Statements pane in Interactive SQL.

Beyond the standard text editing functions, the Code Editor provides the following functionality:

  • a toolbar and status bar

  • automatic syntax highlighting

  • language-sensitive indenting

  • the ability to find and replace text

  • the ability to open from and save to files (the availability of this functionality depends on the plug-in you are using)

  • the ability to print the code

  • text completion when typing code

 Open the Code Editor in a separate window (Sybase Central)
  1. In the left pane, choose a database object, such as a stored procedure, view, or trigger.

  2. Click File » Edit In New Window.
