The EAServer installation includes an option to install Open Client version 11.1.1 but it no longer includes the Merant (formerly Intersolv) DataDirect Connect ODBC Driver For Sybase Databases, Version 3.60. However, you can either purchase a third-party ODBC driver or you can use FreeTDS. The FreeTDS is an ODBC driver library based on TDS protocol and it can communicate with Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA) and Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) databases.
unixODBC is the default
ODBC driver manager in EAServer 5.5.
If you are going to define connection caches that use the ODBC drivers included with EAServer, you must configure Open Client and ODBC for use with EAServer. If you are not going to use ODBC connection caches, or if Open Client and ODBC are already installed, you need not configure Open Client and ODBC.
