Category: ASE: Functions: System Functions

System Functions

System Functions are functions in ASE® used to query and display system relevant information about databases and objects.

System functions can be nested and used in the where clause of a select query or whereever so-called expressions can be used. To use constants in a string function, they should be set in single or double quotes. The names of system functions are not reserved words. When specifing optional parameters, it is assumed that queries are performed on the current database, server (host) or User.

System functions recognise parameters, which can be automatically converted into the correct datatype using implicity conversion.
