Beispielcode

Grundlegender Sybase IQ-Eingabecode:

 CREATE TABLE Persons (
    PersonID int,
    LastName varchar(255),
    FirstName varchar(255),
    Address varchar(255),
    City varchar(255)
);

 CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE Persons (
    PersonID INT,
    LastName VARCHAR(255),
    FirstName VARCHAR(255),
    Address VARCHAR(255),
    City VARCHAR(255)
)
COMMENT = '{"origin":"sf_sc","name":"snowconvert","version":{"major":1, "minor":0},{"attributes":{"component":"sybase"}}'
;
Copy

Wie Sie sehen können, bleibt die Struktur größtenteils gleich. Zum Beispiel müssen in manchen Fällen die Datentypen umgewandelt werden.
