Showing System Objects in Interactive SQL

In Interactive SQL, you cannot query system tables, but you can browse the contents of a system view.

Most system tables have equivalent system views that you can query.

In a database, a table, view, stored procedure, or domain is a system object. System tables store information about the database itself, while system procedures, and domains largely support Sybase Transact-SQL compatibility.

Connect to a database using Interactive SQL.
Execute a SELECT statement, specifying the system view for the table you want to browse.
To browse the ISYSTAB system table, show the contents of the view SYS.SYSTAB in the Results pane.
```
SELECT *
FROM SYS.SYSTAB
```
