Sybase applications and Adaptive Server IQ

The ability of Adaptive Server IQ to act as an Open Server enables Sybase
applications such as OmniConnect to work with Adaptive Server IQ. Note that,
in order to use the Open Client libraries, the client application must use only
the supported system tables, views and stored procedures.

OmniConnect support

Sybase OmniConnect provides a unified view of disparate data within an
organization, allowing users to access multiple data sources without having to
know what the data looks like or where it is located. In addition, OmniConnect
performs heterogeneous joins of data across the enterprise, enabling cross-
platform table joins of targets such as DB2, Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise,
Adaptive Server Anywhere, Oracle, and VSAM.

Using the Open Server interface, Adaptive Server IQ can act as a data source
for OmniConnect.

Open Client applications and Adaptive Server IQ

You can build Open Client applications using the Open Client libraries directly
from a C or C++ programming environment such as Powersoft Power++, as
long as the applications use only catalog tables, views and system stored
procedures that are supported by both Adaptive Server Enterprise (Transact-
SQL syntax) and Adaptive Server IQ. Appendix A, “Transact-SQL
Compatibility,” in the Adaptive Server IQ Reference Manual describes how to
create compatible applications.
