Sybase Central only supports SQL Anywhere versions 10x and later databases   Support for version 9 database servers and databases created with version 9 software has been removed from the SQL Anywhere plug-in. When unloading and reloading the database into a reload file, or into a new or existing database, you can still connect to a database created with version 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 software running on a version 9 or later database server. See SQL Anywhere Server upgrades.
