SQL Anywhere® Server - SQL Reference
Tables

The structure of every database is described in a number of system tables.

The system tables are owned by the SYS user ID. The contents of these tables can be changed only by the database server. The UPDATE, DELETE, and INSERT commands cannot be used to modify the contents of these tables. Further, the structure of these tables cannot be changed using the ALTER TABLE and DROP commands.

System tables in SQL Anywhere are exposed via their corresponding views. This chapter contains descriptions the system tables, with a link to their corresponding views.

Non-system tables are also described in this chapter.
