dbisql provides an interactive environment for database browsing and for sending SQL statements to the database server.
dbisql allows you to type SQL commands or run command files. dbisql also provides feedback about the number of rows affected, the time required for each command, the execution plan of queries, and any error messages.
In order for dbisql to function correctly, $HOME must exist and must be writable by the user.
You can start dbisql in the following ways:
From Sybase Central, using the Open Interactive SQL menu item.
From the Start menu by choosing Start > Programs > Sybase > Adaptive Server IQ 12.7 > Interactive SQL Java.
At a command prompt, using the dbisql command.
