Connect to Sybase 11 database

If you run the Enterprise Edition of ColdFusion on either a Windows NT or UNIX platform, you can configure a Sybase System 11 database as a data source using a native driver. The configuration with a native driver is the same regardless of platform.

 

Note: You must install and apply the Sybase Open Client version 11.1.0 with Update 11.1.1 before you can configure this data source.

 

To complete the connection:
