A database schema is the collection of all objects in the database. Sybase Central displays a database schema as a hierarchy of containers and their contents. This section describes how to view the schema of a database.
There are a variety of methods for viewing the objects in a database:
In Tasks view, the Contents tab in the right pane displays a folder view of database objects. To perform a particular task, double-click the object in the right pane and a set of related tasks appear in the left pane. Click the task you want to perform from the task list.
In Folders view, database objects appear in a hierarchical tree in the left pane. Clicking a branch of the tree expands or contracts the view; details about the object appear in the right panel. For example, if you select the Sybase IQ plug-in from the left panel, the right panel displays servers, utilities, and services for Sybase IQ.
The Search pane lets you search for items in the object hierarchy. To search for an item, type the name of the object in the Find what box, choose an object class from the Look in dropdown, then click Search. Click on an object in the Results panel to display the object in the right pane.
If you cannot display certain fields, use the facilities
your windowing system provides to change the Sybase Central display
to use dark text on a white or light background.
