Sybase SQL Guide

This manual is a reference for the Sybase Transact-SQL language and a closely related, fully compatible dialect, the Sybase SQL Anywhere version of SQL. With the advent of SQL Server 11 and SQL Anywhere 5.0, the Sybase SQL language unlocks true distributed database management capabilities from laptops to the mainframe. SQL Anywhere lets users deploy a small-footprint but fully-functional database that can run on a palmtop but can share data seamlessly with SQL Server in an enterprise installation. It discusses all the features of the Sybase SQL language, places it in the context of the ANSI/ISO SQL 92 standard, and details best practices for its use. Any differences between the Transact-SQL dialect and the SQL of SQL Anywhere are noted in a side-by-side comparison.
