Is there any equivalent to xp_cmdshell command in, SQL Anywhere?

[Former Member]

In Sybase IQ there's a command named xp_cmdshell, it is a system extended procedure that allows a database server to execute external shell commands.

I need to know if there's an equivalent to it in SQL ANywhere syntax?

Hi Erika,

SQL Anywhere contains a command by the same name which should be very similar, if not identical, to it's IQ counterpart.

More information can be found at this DCX page.

Thanks,
