Remote servers

SQL Anywhere can access data located on different servers, both Sybase and non-Sybase, as if the data were stored on the local server (SQL Anywhere, Adaptive Server Enterprise, Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, and other ODBC data sources).

 

SQL Anywhere presents tables to a client application as if all the data in the tables were stored in the database to which the application is connected. Internally, when a query involving remote tables is executed, the storage location is determined, and the remote location is accessed so that data can be retrieved.

 

Before you can map remote objects to a local proxy table, you must define the remote server where the remote object is located.

 

 

New remote servers are added within Create Remote Server Wizard. In order to run the wizard you should either

 

•select the Object | Create Database Object... main menu item;
•select the Remote Servers icon in the Create Database Object dialog

or

•select the Remote Servers list or any object from that list in the explorer tree;
•select the Create New Remote Server... item from the popup menu

 

To create a new remote server with the same properties as one of the existing one has:

 

•select the Object | Duplicate Database Object... main menu item;
•follow the instructions of Duplicate Object Wizard.

 

 

 

Remote servers can be edited within Remote Server Editor. In order to run the editor you should either

 

•select the remote server for editing in the explorer tree (type the first letters of the server name for quick search);
•select the Edit Remote Server... item from the popup menu

 

 

 

To drop a remote server:

 

•select the server to drop in the explorer tree;
•select the Drop Remote Server item from the popup menu

 

and confirm dropping in the dialog window.
