SAP Sybase IQ as a Data Server for Client Applications

SAP Sybase IQ supports client application connections through either ODBC or JDBC. Use SAP Sybase IQ as a data server for client applications.

With certain limitations, SAP Sybase IQ may also appear to certain client applications as an Open Server™.

The facilities described in this chapter do not provide remote data access for IQ users on Windows and Sun Solaris systems. Remote data access is provided by Component Integration Services (CIS), the core interoperability feature of Enterprise Connect™ Data Access (ECDA).

• Open Client Architecture
  The primary documentation for Sybase Open Client™ application development is the Open Client documentation, available from SAP. This section describes features specific to SAP Sybase IQ, but it is not an exhaustive guide to Sybase Open Client application programming.
• Open Client and jConnect Connections
  When SAP Sybase IQ serves applications over TDS, it automatically sets relevant database options to values that are compatible with SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere® Server default behavior. These options are set temporarily, for the duration of the connection only. The client application can override these options at any time.
