  Upgrading Version 5 Applications

Capturing dbclient command information


Version 5 client applications that connect to a database server do so via the SQL Anywhere Client, an executable named dbclient.exe. The client executable command line contains information needed to locate a server, including the following:

In Version 9, this information is held in an ODBC data source along with other connection information. As there is no longer a client executable, there is no longer a client command line. In Version 9, embedded SQL applications can use ODBC data sources as a source of connection parameters.

Client command line scope 

Only one Version 5 client executable can be run at a time, and it may be used by more than one application and handle connections to more than one server. The command information is therefore global to the machine.
