Verifying that you can connect to servers

Use isql to perform a quick test. Source SYBASE.csh or SYBASE.sh. Then use isql to connect to servers:

  1. At the command prompt, enter:

    isql -Usa -P<password or leave it blank>
        -Sserver_name
    

    where server_name is the Adaptive Server name.

    WARNING! The first time you log in to Adaptive Server, use the default “sa” user name and leave the password blank. After you log in for the first time, change the System Administrator’s password. See “Setting the System Administrator password”.

    The command prompt is displayed if the login is successful.

  2. To display the Adaptive Server version number, enter:

    1> select @@version
    2> go
    

    The Adaptive Server version number is displayed. The output should show Adaptive Server at version 15.0.
