**Table 2-3: System requirements for jConnect on UNIX**
Hardware	Any UNIX platform that supports Java VM 1.1.x
Operating system	Linux/Intel, Sun Solaris, HP UX, IBM AIX, DEC Digital Unix, SGI IRIX, and so on.
Java Developer's Kit	Sun’s JDK 1.2.x or later
Database	Adaptive Server Enterprise, from SQL Server 11.x through Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.x; or Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.5.23 or later, running Open Server Gateway™ dbos50; or Sybase SQL Anywhere Studio 6.0* Some features in jConnect version 4.5 and 5.5 require Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.x or later: Support of wide tables Support for outer join syntax Support for Sybase Failover in high availability systems (“HA Failover”) Implementation of a DynamicClassLoader (or Adaptive Server Anywhere 6.x and later) Support for distributed transaction management —Java Transaction API (JTA), and Java Transaction Service (JTS) For more information on these features, see the Sybase jConnect for JDBC Programmer’s Reference.
