ECDA Option for ODBC

ECDA Option for ODBC provides Replication Server with an Open Client interface to DB2 UDB, Microsoft SQL Server, and ODBC-accessible databases.

Note: The ODBC driver for the ECDA Option for ODBC (the back-end driver connecting to the target) is not provided by Sybase; you must obtain, install, and configure it.

ECDA Option for ODBC provides access to non-ASE data sources, using the ODBC back-end (server-side) driver that you obtain for your target database, such as IBM DB2 or Microsoft SQL Server. Following the vendor’s instructions, install the ODBC driver on the same server as ECDA Option for ODBC, then configure ECDA Option for ODBC to use that ODBC driver to access your database.

Note: Verify that your ODBC driver is compatible with Sybase driver manager software or that it contains a driver manager.

Because ODBC drivers have varying degrees of functionality, it is important that when working with non-ASE-provided, third-party ODBC drivers, you carefully integrate and test them to be sure they meet your needs.
