The main Sybase Central window is split into two vertically-aligned panes.
Left pane
You can choose whether you want the left pane to display the:
Folders pane
displays a hierarchical view of database objects.
The Folders pane shows only the containers in a plug-in; it does not show objects that are not containers of other objects. For example,
the left pane may show a Columns folder (a container), but not the columns themselves because they are items, not containers, and appear in the right pane
instead.
Tasks pane
displays a task list for the currently-selected database object.
Search pane
allows you to search for objects in a plug-in.
To view the Task list or Folders list in the left pane
Start Sybase Central.
From the View menu, choose Tasks or Folders to view the task list or folders list, respectively.
Right pane
The right pane shows the contents of the currently selected container. The right pane has tabs that display the contents of
the container that is selected in the left pane, as well as other information about the selected container.
You can change the appearance of both panes in the Options window (accessed through the Tools menu).
Once you connect to a database or server, you can administer it by navigating and selecting its objects in the main window.
