The Open Client programming interface

Sybase Open Client provides customer applications, third-party products, and other Sybase products with the interfaces needed to communicate with Adaptive Server Anywhere and other Open Servers.

When to use Open Client 

You should consider using the Open Client interface if you are concerned with Adaptive Server Enterprise compatibility or if you are using other Sybase products that support the Open Client interface, such as Replication Server.

The Open Client interface is described in The Open Client Interface. For more information about the Open Client interface, see Adaptive Server Anywhere as an Open Server.
