If your database includes wide tables and very large columns, Sybase recommends that you use a SQL Anywhere repository rather than a Microsoft Access or SQLite Persistent repository. You can install SQL Anywhere using its installer, which is packaged with Sybase ETL Server and ETL Development. To install SQL Anywhere:
Install Sybase ETL Development or Sybase ETL Server.
Run the installer.
On Windows – navigate to the SA10 directory under the installation folder and click SQLAnywhere10_Windows_Developer_10.0.1.exe to start the installer.

Navigate to the installation directory.
Unzip and extract the SQLAnywhere10.<revision_number>.tar.gz file.
By default, the files are extracted in the ga1001 folder under the installation directory.
Using a command prompt, navigate to the folder where you have extracted the file, and enter the following command to run the installer:
./setup
On the Welcome window, click Next.
The installer extracts the files required for installation on your machine.
