  3. Click the General tab and work with the following options:
    Sybase Segment

    Lets you select a segment in which to store the table that contains the selected index. Click New New icon in property editors to create a new object on the Sybase Segment drop-down to add a new segment or click the Sybase Segment Editor Button button to open the Sybase Segment Editor to work with an existing segment.

    LOCKTABLE

    Specifies how to lock the table to restrict access in a multi-user environment, which maintains security and prevents concurrent access problems. Select a value from the drop-down list.

    Sybase Reserve Page Gap

    Sybase Identity Gap

    Lets you specify the identity value gap for the table, which overrides the system-defined value.

    Sybase External Path

    Lets you specify the path of the remote table that is accessed through the defined proxy table. Specify the server name, database, user, and table of the remote system.

  4. Click Close.

    The table properties are defined and the Sybase Table Editor closes.
