SYBASE Open Client

SYBASE Open Client provides customer applications, third-party products, and other SYBASE products with the interfaces needed to communicate with SQL Server and Open Server.

Open Client can be thought of as having two components, programming interfaces and network services.

The programming interfaces component of Open Client is made up of libraries designed for use in writing client applications: Client-Library, DB-Library, and CS-Library. (Both Open Client and Open Server include CS-Library, which contains utility routines that are useful to both client and server applications.)

Open Client network services include Net-Libraryä, which provides support for specific network protocols, such as TCP/IP or DECnet.
