I would like to know if anyone, knowing Sybase & Oracle, could describe for me how the two products differ in the way they create, populate, and retrieve information from tables.
For example: In Oracle you would CREATE TABLE/VIEW <table/view name> AS...
INSERT INTO <table/view name> VALUES... DELETE <table/view name> WHERE ... UPDATE <table/view name> SET .. WHERE ...
For SQL*Plus in Oracle you might SELECT <field_names> FROM ... and also provide COLUMN contraints, BREAK ON, etc...
How are each of these implemented in Sybase? How much retooling do I have to go through in order to accomplish the same things in Sybase as I did in Oracle? I am currently working in a IBM VM mainframe (blockmode :-() shop but might have an opportunity to provide a company some direction when they purchase Sybase (on a Sequent - Unix flavor???) in the next couple of weeks.
