Table 36-6 lists the native database drivers supplied with PowerBuilder. If an application or component uses the database specified, the file is required on the computer. The first two characters of the native database file name are PB, the next three characters identify the database, and the last two identify the version of PowerBuilder.

Notes When you deploy a PowerBuilder custom class user object to EAServer, you need to use the SYJ database interface rather than SYC to connect to an Adaptive Server Enterprise database. You cannot use SYJ in the PowerBuilder development environment, but you can use the SYJ Database Profile Setup dialog box to set the appropriate connection parameters. You can then copy the syntax from the Preview tab into the script for your Transaction object.
