Driver Problem in Sybase

I am working on XP m\c and right now I don't have sybase install.

But My server has the sybase 12.5 (that much I only know). I am using web service to talk to that server. How can I call the data from that server,

For this I am using a webservice which has some web methods that are using specific connection string. Right now I开发者_运维问答 am using ODBC connection string for that.

I want to know do I need to install SYbase clinet at my m/c to call server data. OR else How shouls I proceed,

Thaks

Either you need to install a Sybase client, or you could use a "direct" ODBC driver (aka. "Type B"?), which will speaks TDS directly to the server without needing the Sybase client libraries.

You will want to install the Sybase SDK on your webserver which includes Open Client and support for ADO .Net if you don't want to continue using ODBC. I think you need to contact sales in order to get a copy though. See this page.
