The behavior of a remote connection is determined by the server class in the CREATE SERVER statement. The server classes give Sybase IQ detailed server capability information. Sybase IQ formats SQL statements specific to a server's capabilities.
There are two categories of server classes:
JDBC-based server classes
ODBC-based server classes
Each server class has a set of unique characteristics that database administrators and programmers need to know about in order to configure the server for remote data access.
When using this chapter, refer both to the section generic to the server class category (JDBC-based or ODBC-based), and to the section specific to the individual server class.
