Installation and Sybase connectivity from Delphi7

[Rizwan]

Trying to set up a Sybase Connection over a firewall.

First Question:
Have Unpack the archive to a folder.
Instruction said to : 'Copy the required dlls from lib directory to the windows system directory (usually Windows\System or winnt\system32)'.
Now there are no files for Sybase. All I see is MySQL and Postgresql. What do I have to do at this point???


Second Question:
The Sybase Server is behind a firewall. I have a VPN connection to that domain. Plus I have the serverIP, Port, DatabaseName, user and password. How can I connect to this SybaseSQl through this configuration? All I need to do is to run couple of stored procedures on that server and get the data from it.

In need of desperate help.

Rizwan,

I don't think Sybase stuff can be published in an open source distribution as it has a commercial licence. If you have a Sabase client installed on you computer you should already have the necessary dll's installed. (If not : trying to connect using Zeos will return 'dll not found' or something similar)

For your second question, I suppose it all depends on the VPN connection you have to the server. If you have acces to all ports on the server I don't think you will have trouble accessing it. Do you use other programs accessing the Sybase server?

Succes,

Mark
