Make a copy of the sample database so that you can restore it after making changes. Do this at the operating system level. It cannot be done within Sybase Central.
From the operating system, navigate to the directory that contains the sample database file, asiqdemo.db.
Its default directory is $ASDIR\demo on UNIX, %ASDIR%/demo on Windows.
Create a subdirectory, for example, mydemo, to hold the copy.
Use UNIX cp or Windows copy and paste (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) to create a copy of the database in your backup directory.
Work with the copy.
