This section contains information on changes to DB-Library/C in this version. The changes are:
New DB-Library routine, dbsetconnect, added that allows you to specify server connection information in this routine. This routine, when used in a client application, ignores the server connection information specified in any of these places:
As an interfaces entry that corresponds to the value of the DSQUERY environment variable.
As directory services lookup for a server entry in the interfaces file on UNIX platforms or the LDAP directory services and the registry file on Microsoft Windows.
A new environment variable, SYBOCS_DBVERSION, allows you to externally configure the DB-Library version level at runtime. DB-Library uses the new environment variable to perform the following:
Retrieve the environment variable at the DB-Library initialization stage
Store the environment variable value as the version level
To configure the new environment variable, see Open Client and Open Server Configuration Guide for your platform.
