There are two of them: dbaccess and isql . The first is more of a DBA's
tool, and the second an
end user's tool. As far as I know, dbaccess is bundled with the engine
product, but I-SQL is a separate
product (I for interactive).
Things that you can do in dbaccess but not in isql:
lets you specify the initial and next extent sizes of a table
through the menu
manage stored procedures/triggers
display information on referntial integrity constraints
Things that you can do in isql but not in dbaccess:
Manage Forms
Manage Reports
Manage User-Menus
