The Sybase Central main window
The main Sybase Central window is very similar to the Windows 95 Explorer.
The main window is split into two panes:
-
The left pane shows the object tree (a hierarchical view of objects, such as servers and databases). Note that the left pane only shows the containers in the object tree. It does not show objects that are not containers of other objects. For example, the left pane may show a Columns folder (a container), but not the columns themselves (shown in the right pane instead).
-
The right pane shows the contents of the currently selected container. The right pane can display container objects in a variety of views depending on your plug-in. All plug-ins support the object view. See documentation for your plug-in for a description of views it supports.
The main window also has a set of menus and a toolbar.
Once you connect to a database, server or product module, you can administer it by navigating and selecting its objects in the main window.
