AFAIK 1. Sybase is case sensitive (eg) tables EMP ^= Emp ^= emp; Applies to Column names too. 2. More so, i don't find the equivalent of AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION in Sybase. May be someone else has. 3. Date formats 'look' different 4. Oracle Single Quote = Sybase Double Quote 5. You can do something like this in Sybase SQL (though i am not sure of the syntax) (IF Contraint EXISTS THEN DROP CONSTRAINT my_constraint; END IF ) GO 6. You have BEGIN TRANSCTION --> END TRANSACTION. More on this you can refer to Sybase materials.
