Sybase Sql Advantage is the default editor for the Sybase database. But it has lots of shortcomings, because it basically is what Notepad is for Windows users:

  • Can't do multiple undo's
  • Monochrome, text is black and background is white
  • Can't see what character did you exactly paste from clipboard, and sometimes this lead to weirdness behaviour
  • Don't see what line or column you are in the moment
  • Lack of funcionality like exports to different formats, integration with source control, plugins, etc.

I have to deal with this editor in my daily work, so I was wondering if there are any other tool. Do you know any replacement?

There is TOAD and AQUA but neither is free although demos allow you try before you buy. I use ASEISQL which is free and does a lot of what your after very well. I can't imagine going back to sql advantage.
