Supported versions for Adaptive Server

You can access Adaptive Server versions 15.x, and 16.x using the SYC Adaptive Server database interface. Use of this interface to access other Open Server programs is not supported. The SYC database interface uses a DLL named PBSYC190.dll to access the database through the Open Client CT-Lib API.

You can also access Adaptive Server version 15.x/16.x using the ASE Adaptive Server database interface. Use of this interface to access other Open Server programs is not supported. The Adaptive Server database interface uses a DLL named PBASE190.dll to access the database through the Open Client CT-Lib API. To use this interface, the Adaptive Server 15/16 client must be installed on the client computer. The ASE interface supports large identifiers with up to 128 characters.

Client Library API

The Adaptive Server database interfaces use the Open Client CT-Library (CT-Lib) application programming interface (API) to access the database.

When you connect to an Adaptive Server database, PowerBuilder makes the required calls to the API. Therefore, you do not need to know anything about CT-Lib to use the database interface.
