Installing online help for Transact-SQL syntax

If you have set the DSQUERY environment variable to the servername, you can replace the server name with $DSQUERY.

5To ensure that you have installed the sybsyntax database and that it is working correctly, use isql to log in to the server on which you installed the database, and execute sp_syntax. For example:

isql -Usa-Ppassword -Sservername

1> sp_syntax "select" 2> go

Adaptive Server displays a list of commands that contain the word or word fragment “select.”
