SQL Anywhere provides three methods to administer your system: Sybase Central, Interactive SQL, and command-line utilities.
The choice of which tool to use is your preference. The majority of tasks, such as connecting to a database, are supported
by all three methods.
The tutorials and introductory materials listed in this section use all three methods to create and manage SQL Anywhere databases.
This section describes how to create an ODBC data source and how to use it to connect to a database using Sybase Central.
