Description

This 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 forwarded to a remote server. The system tables which contain server capabilities are not populated until after Sybase IQ first connects to the remote server. This information comes from syscapability and syscapabilityname system tables. The servername specified must be the same server name used in the CREATE SERVER statement.
