You cannot change the timestamp increment of an existing database. Instead, you must create a new database.

This increment is useful when a DEFAULT TIMESTAMP column is being used as a primary key or row identifier.

From Sybase Central, you can set the timestamp increment in any wizard that creates a database. On the New database creation parameters page, select the Timestamp Increment option.

From a client application, set this parameter as one of the creation parameters for the create database method on the database manager class.
