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.
There are several ways to expand a database container and
view its contents.
- 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 drop down,
then click Search. Click on an object in the Results panel to display
the object in the right pane.
Note: 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.
