The ODBC interface is a call-based application programming interface defined by Microsoft Corporation as a standard interface for database management systems. The Adaptive Server Enterprise ODBC 12.5.1 driver allows you to write programs that access data in Adaptive Server using the ODBC call interface. In addition to the ODBC Level 2 features, the driver supports the following features:
SSL
HA Failover
Password encryption
This SDK release includes additional platform support for the ASE ODBC Driver by Sybase. The driver was introduced in SDK 12.5.1 ESD #2 for the Linux platform and this release adds support for Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.
This driver, developed by Sybase, will replace the existing
ODBC Driver Kit in a future release. Currently, both of these drivers
are shipped in parallel and can co-exist on the same machine. You
are encouraged to begin migrating and testing your applications
with the new driver to identify any compatibility issues. The existing
ODBC Driver Kit is registered with the ODBC Driver Manager as “Sybase
ASE ODBC Driver” and is currently at version 5.00.0034. The
ASE ODBC Driver by Sybase is registered as “Adaptive Server Enterprise” and
currently at version 12.5.1.376.
