This new feature supports the use of the sql.ini file (for Windows) and the interfaces file (for UNIX) to provide server information. It is supported for the following drivers and providers:
ADO.NET Data Provider
ODBC Driver
OLE DB Provider
Currently, to connect to the driver or provider you must specify several properties, such as server name or IP address and port number of an ASE server. By using the sql.ini or interfaces file, enterprises can centralize the information about the services available in the enterprise networks including, ASE server information.
