This support is currently limited to the Linux x86-64 64-bit platform. You can use the
AF_UNIX socket when both the ODBC application and Adaptive Server are
located on the same host, and both are configured to use AF_UNIX sockets. The AF_UNIX
sockets provide better performance than TCP/IP sockets. To enable AF_UNIX sockets from ODBC,
set these connection strings properties:
-
networklibraryname=afunix – informs the Adaptive Server ODBC
Driver that AF_UNIX socket is used.
-
server=<full path to the pipe> – path to the AF_UNIX socket.
For example, /tmp/test/demo_socket.
See the
Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise documentation for more
information on configuring Adaptive Server to use AF_UNIX sockets.
