To access Sybase databases, Sybase client software and Open Client Library must be accessible via the shared libraries located in the Sybase installation directory. You can make the client libraries accessible by running the scripts provided with Sybase, such as <sybase_home>/SYBASE.sh, where <sybase_home> denotes the directory where Sybase is installed. You can configure the client by using the dsedit utility, provided with the Sybase installation, to define database connections in the interfaces file.
