Hi
I am still trying to get a running (working) native JDBC database connection to a SQL Anywhere 17 database. I tried with the following URL and Driver settings on Windows Server (2008 R2) and OS X 10.11.5. On both platforms, a SQL Anywhere version 17.0.4.2129 is running. It's a standard install done by the installer (wizard). Unfortunately I have no success on making a connection on either OS.
In the database server connection fields URL and Driver, I use:
URL: jdbc:sqlanywhere:DSN=<database>;Links=tcpip(host=<ip-address>;port=2638);
Driver: sybase.jdbc4.sqlanywhere.IDriver
This settings are based on my older thread about JDBC database connections. Read thread here if appropriate: http://sqlanywhere-forum.sap.com/questions/16414/jdbc-driver-for-oracle-data-modeler
Using following settings works with jconn3.jar on both platforms:
URL: jdbc:sybase:Tds:<ip-adress>:2638?ServiceName=<database>&CHARSET=utf8
Driver: com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver
What settings and driver files are other people using? Where are they located?
I still have hope to get the native connection run. The motivation for me is that as far as I understood it is a (much) faster connection.
