Howdy. Anyone out there have a comparison sheet that would tell a dyed-in-the-wool oracle'er how to function in sybase? I googled, but did not find what I needed. From the sybase manuals, I can't even figure out how to fire this puppy up. (Apparently they assume you know where to go from the $ sign.) I'm looking for how to set my environment (I type isql and nothing happens), how to get to the point where I can start/stop database, how to do basic schema queries, etc. It would be extremely helpful if I could compare the sybase commands to what I already know (oracle). Thanks in advance for any assistance, sympathy, encouragement, etc. :( (don't know version, probably 12 something (ase?), on solaris 9) Barb ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
