In the special case of an Open Server application that connects Sybase client applications with an Adaptive Server, Client-Library and DB-Library provide a set of application protocol passthrough routines that allow the Open Server to pass Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets between the client and server without interpreting the contents. This process works more efficiently than unpacking the TDS information as it arrives and repacking it before sending it on. The sample, fullpass.c, provides an example of this type of gateway. For more information, see “Passthrough mode”.
Pre-10.0 versions of DB-Library
must not be linked into an application with Open Server version
10.0 and later, although they can be used in application programs
that serve as clients to Open Server 10.0 and later.
