Overview
The EAServer installation includes an option to install Open Client
version 11.1.1 but it no longer includes the Merant (formerly Intersolv)
DataDirect Connect ODBC Driver For Sybase Databases, Version 3.60.
However, you can either purchase a third-party ODBC driver or you can
use FreeTDS. The FreeTDS is an ODBC driver library based on TDS
protocol and it can communicate with Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA)
and Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) databases.
Note unixODBC is the default ODBC driver manager in EAServer 5.5.
If you are going to define connection caches that use the ODBC drivers
included with EAServer, you must configure Open Client and ODBC for
use with EAServer. If you are not going to use ODBC connection caches,
or if Open Client and ODBC are already installed, you need not configure
Open Client and ODBC.
