Sybase Enterprise Connect Data AccessConnect provides the Sybase middleware building blocks for connectivity between clients and enterprise data sources. Using ECDA simplifies the integration of non-Sybase replicate databases into a Sybase replication system.
You can use ECDA to connect directly to a database server. The DirectConnect component in ECDA acts as an Open Server gateway by interpreting the Open Client/Server protocol used by Replication Server to the native communication protocol used by the non-Sybase replicate database.
You can use ECDA to connect to:
Microsoft SQL Server
OS/390 (UDB and DB2)
Oracle
ODBC accessible data sources
For more information, see the Replication Server Options documentation.
