Just thought people would like to know this:

I have recently needed to connect to a very old Sybase database from my
Clarion app.  I used a driver from www.datadirect.com - it worked very well.
I used the "wire" driver which means you don't need to load the database
client onto the client machine.  I have also tested the MS SQL driver and
that works great too.  I also have Oracle clients out there where I use the
Oracle driver (which is a pain as you need to load the Oracle client) -
whereas datadirect have a "wire" driver for Oracle too - I shall convert
them over.

Works very well for me - the documentation is excellent which makes it easy
to work out what the connection strings need to look like in order to build
DSN-less connections.

Cheers

Gavin
