Sybase¶

Support for Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE).

Note that this dialect is no longer specific to Sybase iAnywhere. ASE is the primary support platform.

python-sybase notes¶

Support for Sybase via the python-sybase driver.

Connect strings are of the form:

sybase+pysybase://<username>:<password>@<dsn>/[database name]

The python-sybase driver does not appear to support non-ASCII strings of any kind at this time.

Support for Sybase via pyodbc.

Connect strings are of the form:

sybase+pyodbc://<username>:<password>@<dsn>/
sybase+pyodbc://<username>:<password>@<host>/<database>

The pyodbc driver currently supports usage of these Sybase types with Unicode or multibyte strings:

CHAR
NCHAR
NVARCHAR
TEXT
VARCHAR

Currently not supported are:

UNICHAR
UNITEXT
UNIVARCHAR

Support for Sybase via mxodbc.

This dialect is a stub only and is likely non functional at this time.
