A new DB-Library routine, dbsetconnect, allows you to specify server connection information in this routine. This routine, when used in a client application, ignores the server connection information specified in any of these places:
As an interfaces entry that corresponds to the value of the DSQUERY environment variable.
As directory services lookup for a server entry in the interfaces file on UNIX platforms, or the LDAP directory services, and the registry file on Microsoft Windows.
A new DB-Library environment variable, SYBOCS_DBVERSION, allows you to externally configure the DB-Library version level at runtime.
DB-Library uses the new environment variable to perform the following:
Retrieve the environment variable at the DB-Library initialization stage
Store the environment variable value at the version level
To configure SYBOCS_DBVERSION, see the Open Client and Open Server 15.0 Configuration Guide for your platform.
