Database options are configurable settings that change the way the database behaves or performs. In Sybase Central, all of these options are grouped together in the Set Options dialog. In Interactive SQL, you can specify an option in a SET OPTION statement.

Tips
With the Set Options dialog, you can also set database options for
specific users and groups.
When you set options for the database itself, you are actually setting options for the PUBLIC group in that database, because all users and groups inherit option settings from PUBLIC.
For more information, see Chapter 2, “Database Options.” in the Sybase IQ Reference Manual.
