System table	Description
SYSLOGIN	Lists User Profile names that can
	connect to the database with an
	integrated login

SYSOPTION	Lists current SET OPTION settings
	for all users including the PUBLIC
	user

SYSPROCEDURE	Describes each procedure in the
	database

SYSPROCPARM	Describes each parameter to every
	procedure in the database

SYSPROCPERM	Lists each user granted permission to
	call each procedure in the database

SYSPUBLICATION	Describes each SQL Remote
	publication

SYSREMOTETYPE	Contains information about SQL
	Remote

SYSREMOTEUSER	Describes user IDs with REMOTE
	permissions and the status of their
	SQL Remote messages

SYSSQLSERVERTYPE	Contains information relating to
	compatibility with Adaptive Server
	Enterprise

SYSSUBSCRIPTION	Relates each user ID with REMOTE
	permissions to a publication

SYSTABLE	Describes one table or view in the
	database

SYSTABLEPERM	Describes permissions granted on
	each table in the database

SYSSQLSERVERTYPE	Contains information on compatibility
	with Adaptive Server Enterprise

SYSUSERMESSAGES	Lists user-defined error messages and
	their creators

SYSUSERPERM	Lists characteristics of each user ID.
	Because it contains passwords, you
	need DBA permissions to select from
	this table

SYSUSERTYPE	Describes each user-defined data type

System views present the information from their corresponding system tables in a more readable format. In some cases, they omit password information so that they can be accessible to all users. System views include:
