Installing jConnect system objects into a database

If you want to use jConnect to access system table information (database metadata), you must add the jConnect system objects to your database.

You can add the jConnect system objects to the database when creating the database or at a later time by upgrading the database. You can upgrade a database from Sybase Central or by using the dbupgrad utility.

Note

Do not add jConnect system objects to your Windows Mobile database.

Caution

You should always back up your database files before upgrading. If you apply the upgrade to the existing files, then these files become unusable if the upgrade fails.
