Hello,
I have an old-ish Sybase dbms (SQL Anywhere v5.x) that does not offer a DUMP command.
The only way to extract data is to SELECT all of it, then OUTPUT it in some format:
csv, dbase2, dbase3, etc.
I searched the docs and faqs for information on importing data and could not find
anything about importing data.
I am (still) using os/2 so most (all?) of the GUI options are not available to me.

What you're looking for is COPY:

Best of luck,
