Online syntax help: sp_syntax

There is a script for installing the syntax help database, sybsyntax. You can retrieve this data with the sp_syntax system procedure. The script is located in:

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/scripts/ins_syn_sql

For more information on sp_syntax, see the Reference Manual.

This script includes syntax information for Transact-SQL, the system procedures, and the Sybase utilities. When you execute this script, you install the SQL portion of the sybsyntax database.

When you first execute this script, it creates the sybsyntax database and the necessary tables and indexes. If you execute the script again, the previously installed rows of information are deleted from the table in the database and then reinstalled.
