Easy command access   The File menu in Sybase Central automatically updates when you select an object, providing commands related directly to that object. You can also right-click an object to access these commands.

Task wizards   To add a new object, Sybase Central provides you with wizards that walk you through the task step by step.

Drag-and-drop functionality   Sybase Central supports drag-and-drop functionality for many operations. For example, to copy tables to a different database, you can click and drag them to that location.

When you copy a database object, the SQL for the object is copied to the clipboard so it can be pasted into other applications, such as Interactive SQL or a text editor. For example, if you copy an index in Sybase Central and paste it into a text editor, the CREATE INDEX statement for that index appears.

Keyboard shortcuts   Many commonly-used commands have keyboard shortcuts; these shortcuts are listed beside the command names in the menus. See Sybase Central keyboard shortcuts.

Plug-in support   You can manage a variety of database products and tools by using plug-ins. In Sybase Central, click Help, and then choose a plug-in name to get additional information about using and configuring the plug-in. See Sybase Central plug-in architecture.
