[KutuS]

I worked in sybase using Windows environment for more than 4 years. Now my company is sending for sybase developement position using Linux. I have not worked on Linux so far. I have learned Linux basics and now have to learn Shell Scripting.<br />

I am looking for codes and information how Linux is used with sybase. Please let me know any site (www) where I can find the sybase linux stuff together. I have to go for project development.<br />

Basically I am looking for jobs scheduling, calling sybase procedure from linux shell scripts etc. In the nutshell what I little know is that I will be using linux to call sybase codes.<br />

For comprehensive guide to Sybase on Linux, refer to the Sybase documentation

http//sybooks.sybase.com/

And choose your Sybase version. This is the best place.

Another site you can try is

For connecting to Sybase and running queries from inside a script you can use isql and fsql.

For example,
fsql -S<server_name> -D<database_name> -U<username> -P<password> -c"<SQL Query enclosed in quotes>"

And you'll get the output in the command prompt.
