SQL Remote components
Client applications work with the data in the database. Client applications use one of the client/server interfaces supported by the data server:
For Adaptive Server Anywhere, the client application may use ODBC, Embedded SQL, or Sybase Open Client to work with Adaptive Server Anywhere.
For Adaptive Server Enterprise, the client application may use one of the Sybase Client Server interfaces, ODBC, or Embedded SQL.
Client applications do not have to know if they are using a consolidated or remote database. From the client application perspective, there is no difference.
