I administer Sybase ASE(15.0.7) database thats run on Solaris(11). I am pretty new specifically to Sybase ASE , but I have pretty well overall knowledge with working on databases such as SQL Server. Lately, while I was doing tasks such as uploading programmers scripts and etc, I was told to do not use it with ASE ISQL utility and go straight from command line utility (isql) because it would lose part of the data otherwise . I was pretty confused how could it possibly lose anything while handing script to the DB.I tried to discuss this with the folks at work saying that it sounds pretty wierd.
None of us are the real Sybase heavily experienced admins and generally they could not give me any argued answers on the case. So they just claim thats ASE isql is a no-no.
Could that really be true?
