JDBC Drivers

Interactive SQL and Sybase Central support two main JDBC drivers: Sybase jConnect™, and the iAnywhere JDBC Driver. Both are included with Sybase IQ.

By default, the Sybase Central IQ plug-in and Interactive SQL use the iAnywhere JDBC Driver. It provides JDBC 2.0 support and fully scrollable cursors, which the jConnect 5.5 driver does not. jConnect is still useful for zero footprint applications such as Web pages.
