Listing remote server capabilities

The sp_servercaps procedure displays information about a remote server's capabilities. Sybase IQ uses this capability information to determine how much of a SQL statement can be passed to a remote server.

The system tables that contain server capabilities are not populated until after Sybase IQ first connects to the remote server. This information comes from the SYSCAPABILITY and SYSCAPABILITYNAME system tables. The server name specified must be the same server name used in the CREATE SERVER statement.

Run the stored procedure sp_servercaps as follows:

sp_servercaps  servername

For more information, see the sp_servercaps system procedure in Sybase IQ Reference Manual.
