What's New in SQL Anywhere Studio
Upgrading Version 5 Applications
Upgrading embedded SQL applications
For the Version 5 database utilities, connection strings are supplied interactively. The Version 5 database utilities such as ISQL are embedded SQL applications that search for the interface library in the following order:
The current directory
The Version 5 executable directory
The system path
For these applications, even though the compatibility library is ahead of the Version 5 interface library in the system path, the Version 5 compatibility library is located.
To use Version 5 utilities with Adaptive Server Anywhere Version 9
Make a backup copy of your interface library file.
Copy the compatibility library from your Version 9 executable directory to your Version 5 directory. For example, on Windows 95 and Windows NT, copy the file dbl50t.dll from the win32 subdirectory of your Version 9 installation to the win32 subdirectory of your Version 5 installation.
You can now run your Version 5 utilities against both Version 5 and Version 9 database servers.
