DirectConnect ODBC provides basic connectivity to non-Sybase data sources. DirectConnect for ODBC consists of a DirectConnect server, DirectConnect for ODBC service libraries, and DirectConnect for ODBC access services.
The DirectConnect for ODBC access service library accesses ODBC-accessible data. Each access service library accesses data from a particular target database, such as DB2 UDB, Informix, and other ODBC-accessible databases.
The ODBC driver for DirectConnect for ODBC is not provided
by Sybase; you must select your driver, install it, and maintain
it.
DirectConnect for DB2 UDB, DirectConnect for Microsoft SQL Server, and DirectConnect for Informix consist of the base DirectConnect for ODBC component, combined with ODBC drivers supplied by Sybase. For access to additional databases such as Microsoft Access, Teradata, and so on, you must obtain and install the necessary ODBC driver separately, on the same server as DirectConnect for ODBC, and configure DirectConnect for ODBC to use that ODBC driver for access to the database. Since ODBC drivers have varying degrees of functionality, it is important when working with non-Sybase-provided, third-party ODBC drivers to carefully integrate and test them to be sure they meet your needs
