Server class mssodbc

A server with server class mssodbc is Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5, Service Pack 4.

Notes
  • Sybase certifies the use of version 3.60.0319 of Microsoft SQL Server's ODBC driver (included in the MDAC 2.0 release). Configure and test your ODBC configuration using the instructions for that product.
  • The following is an example of a CREATE EXISTING TABLE statement for a Microsoft SQL Server named mymssql: 
    CREATE EXISTING TABLE accounts,
AT 'mymssql.database.owner.accounts';
  • The local setting of the quoted_identifiers option controls the use of quoted identifiers for Microsoft SQL Server. For example, if you set the quoted_identifiers option to Off locally, then quoted identifiers are turned off for Microsoft SQL Server.
