Reports information about a database object

(any object listed in sysobjects) and about
system or user-defined datatypes, as well as
computed columns and function-based
indexes.

device or about all Adaptive Server
database devices and dump devices.
Reports help information on configuration
parameters.
Adds a dump device to Adaptive Server.

group, their current values, their default
values, the value to which they have most
recently been set, and the amount of
memory used by this setting.
Displays or changes database options, and
enables the asynchronous log service
feature.

Displays statistics about Adaptive Server.

Reports information about all current

Adaptive Server users and processes or
