Use isql

You can use isql to interact with Replication Server.

For simple operations, using isql interactively may be easiest.

For more complex operations, Sybase recommends using isql to execute scripts, so you can keep a record of the RCL commands you have executed to set up a Replication Server. You can edit scripts and resubmit them whenever necessary. Scripts are also useful when you are verifying a new system or investigating the cause of a failure.

You can use isql to log in to Replication Server or Adaptive Server. You can use isql with both the interactive and script methods to interact with Replication Server. For information about using isql with Adaptive Server, refer to the Adaptive Server utility programs manual for your operating system.
