Introducing SQL Anywhere Studio
  SQL Anywhere Studio Supported Platforms

UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh operating systems


Unless otherwise noted, the supported versions of the listed operating systems are as described in Operating system versions.

Adaptive Server Anywhere 
Component Solaris Linux Mac OS X HP-UX AIX Tru64
Personal database server
Network database server
ODBC clients 1
Embedded SQL clients
SQL preprocessor
Open Client clients
JDBC clients (jConnect driver)
Java in the database
Remote data access 2
External stored procedures
iAnywhere JDBC driver 3

Linux Note for Adaptive Server Anywhere    During testing, crashes have been observed under the 2.4.2 SMP kernel. Later 2.4.x kernels do not exhibit this problem.

Under some conditions, the EAX register may be overwritten with an incorrect value. The EAX register is used to hold a repeat count for memory copy operations, and so the bad value can cause large amounts of memory to be overwritten, including memory holding data structures being used by other threads.

Testing with the 2.4.7 and 2.4.9 SMP kernels reveals that the problem has been fixed. While the 2.4.2 kernel can be used with a single processor, please upgrade to the 2.4.7 or 2.4.9 kernel for SMP support.

The Replication Agent requires Sybase Open Client and Open Server libraries.

Component Solaris Linux Mac OS X HP-UX AIX Tru64
Replication Agent
Administration tools 
Component Solaris Linux Mac OS X HP-UX AIX Tru64
Command line administration utilities
Sybase Central
Interactive SQL

With the exception of the command-line administration utilities, the administration tools employ a Java 2 runtime environment, version 1.3.1.

The following paragraphs are taken from the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition Version 1.3.1 system requirement for Solaris, and apply to the administration tools:

The Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, v. 1.3.1 (J2SDK 1.3.1) is intended for use on Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7, Solaris 8, and Solaris 9 Operating Environments.

Prior to installing the Java 2 SDK, you should insure that you have installed the full set of required patches needed for support of this release. To obtain patches, see the SunSolve support website. You will find a patch cluster for each Solaris operating environment platform. Each patch cluster applies to all supported versions of the Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) on the given platform.

See also Solaris Font Package Requirements for information about which font packages should be on your system.

1 ODBC driver manager may not be available. May have to link directly to ODBC driver.

2 JDBC remote data sources require a JDBC driver. ODBC remote data sources requires iAnywhere Solutions ODBC driver. For a list of supported platforms, see iAnywhere Solutions ODBC drivers supported platforms.

3 Requires JRE 1.4 or higher on Itanium chips. Requires JRE 1.3 or higher on other chips.
