Sybase jConnect JDBC Driver

If you wish to use JDBC from a client application or applet, you must have Sybase jConnect to connect to Sybase IQ databases.

Depending on the installation package you received, Sybase IQ may or may not include Sybase jConnect. You must have jConnect in order to use JDBC from client applications. You can use server-side JDBC without jConnect.

For a full description of jConnect and its use with Sybase IQ, see the jConnect documentation available in the online books or from the jConnect web site

Class.forName("com.sybase.jdbc.SybDriver").newInstance();

• Versions of jConnect Supplied with Sybase IQ
  Sybase IQ provides two versions of the Sybase jConnect JDBC driver:
• The jConnect Driver Files
  The Sybase jConnect driver is installed into a set of directories under the jConnect subdirectory of your Sybase IQ installation. If you have not installed jConnect, you can use the jdbcdrv.zip file installed into the Java subdirectory.
• Installing jConnect System Objects Into a Database
  If you wish to use jConnect to access system table information (database metadata), you must add the jConnect system objects to your database.
• Supply URL For the Server
  To connect to a database via jConnect, you need to supply a Universal Resource Locator (URL) for the database.
