Sybase IQ supports client application connections through either ODBC or JDBC. This chapter describes how to use Sybase IQ as a data server for client applications.
With certain limitations, Sybase IQ may also appear to certain client applications as an Open Server.This chapter also briefly describes the restrictions for creating and running these applications.
For information on developing Open Client applications for use with Sybase IQ, see “The Open Client Interface” in Adaptive Server Anywhere Programming Interfaces Guide.
The facilities described in this chapter do not provide remote data access for IQ users on Windows and Sun Solaris systems. Remote data access is provided by Component Integration Services (CIS), the core interoperability feature of OmniConnect(TM). For information on remote data access and proxy databases, see Chapter 16, “Accessing Remote Data” and Chapter 17, “Server Classes for Remote Data Access.”
