  The Open Client Interface

Known Open Client limitations of Adaptive Server Anywhere

Using the Open Client interface, you can use an Adaptive Server Anywhere database in much the same way as you would an Adaptive Server Enterprise database. There are some limitations, including the following:

• Commit Service    Adaptive Server Anywhere does not support the Adaptive Server Enterprise Commit Service.

• Capabilities    A client/server connection's capabilities determine the types of client requests and server responses permitted for that connection. The following capabilities are not supported:

  • CS_REG_NOTIF

  • CS_CSR_ABS

  • CS_CSR_FIRST

  • CS_CSR_LAST

  • CS_CSR_PREV

  • CS_CSR_REL

  • CS_DATA_BOUNDARY

  • CS_DATA_SENSITIVITY

  • CS_PROTO_DYNPROC

  • CS_REQ_BCP

• Security options, such as SSL and encrypted passwords, are not supported.

• Open Client applications may connect to Adaptive Server Anywhere using TCP/IP or using local machine NamedPipes protocol where available.

  For more information on capabilities, see the Open Server Server-Library C Reference Manual.
