By scheduling activities you can ensure that a set of actions is executed at a set of preset times. The scheduling information and the event handler are both stored in the database itself.
See”Understanding schedules” in SQL Anywhere Server - SQL Usage.
For examples, use the Sybase IQ demo database iqdemo.db. For installation information, see “The demo database”.
