Setting properties for database objects

You can view or set the properties of a database and of most database objects.

Prerequisites

DBA authority.

Context and remarks

Use the properties windows in Sybase Central to view and set properties. If you do not use Sybase Central, specify the properties when you create the object with a CREATE statement. If the object already exists, use an ALTER statement to modify the properties.

 Set properties for database objects using Sybase Central
  1. Connect to the database using the SQL Anywhere 12 plug-in.

  2. Open the folder that the object is in.

  3. Select the object.

  4. In the right pane, click the appropriate tabs to edit the properties.

Results

The object properties appear in the right pane of Sybase Central and are editable.

Next

You can also view and edit properties on the object's properties window. To view the properties window, right-click the object, and then click Properties. Some properties that were set when a database was created are non-configurable.
