Information about Sybase

Here are some links and other information relating to Sybase. This should be of interest to students in CSC432 and CSC742. You should play with our Sybase system as early as possible in the course. Try out the following steps as early in the semester as you can, preferably before the project deadlines.

  1. Learn to use isql and wisql - the terminal and windowing interfaces to Sybase.
  2. Create a database in Sybase
  3. Follow the C example below to run a simple program on Sybase.

Sharing Sybase accounts

For team work, you might use the Sybase accounts of the team members. Please note that sybase and unity (or eos) passwords can be different, so you can share your Sybase password within your team. To change your password in isql type


sp_password current_password, new_password

Using the Sybase system

  1. Accessing Sybase and its documentation
  2. Loading a database with links to sample definitions and data
  3. Sharing databases
  4. Running C programs with the SQL API
  5. Running Java programs with a JDBC interface to SQL

ERWin examples

From when we had a license.

  1. DreamHome database. Here is the ERWin source file: you can't view it well because it isn't text, but if you save it from your browser (as source), you should get the right file.
  2. Here are the relation definitions automatically generated by ERWin.
