1. Introduction of Sybase workplace SQL Server
   This book, Introducing Sybase Workplace SQL Server, provides an overview of SQL Server Professional(TM) for Windows NT, a set of Sybase(R) products for developing and deploying relational database applications on desktop platforms. Workplace SQL Server is an integrated set of software products for developing and deploying relational database applications. It consists of a high-performance relational database management system (RDBMS), which runs database servers, and a collection of applications and libraries, which run on database clients. This arrangement, consisting of servers accessed by multiple clients over a network, forms the basis for Sybase's client/server architecture.

4. The database omniConnect for adaptive server enterprise 
   OmniConnect is one of several Adaptive Server Enterprise bundles which uses the Component Integration Services feature to provide access to external data sources. OmniConnect allows users to access both Sybase and non-Sybase databases on different servers. These external data sources include host data files and tables, views and RPCs (remote procedure calls) in database systems such as Adaptive Server, Oracle, and DB2. OmniConnect are using some cases to the following here:-
   * Access tables in remote servers as if the tables were local.
   * Perform joins between tables in multiple remote, heterogeneous servers. For example, it is possible to join tables between an Oracle database management system and an Adaptive Server, and between tables in multiple Adaptive Servers.
   * Transfer the contents of one table into a new table on any supported remote server using a select into statement.
