Sybase ASE Client Tools for Windows and Linux

Question

I am looking for Sybase ASE client tools for Windows and Linux. I am trying to access the database using isql. But in order to use isql in python, one must have the Sybase ASE drivers/client tools installed.

The server my code (python) will be running is Linux, and my development machine is Windows, so I need driver/client tools for both environment

Answer 1

If you go to this SAP download link and search the page for Adaptive Server Enterprise you'll find several links for the ASE SDK.

NOTE: all of the links are for recent versions of the ASE 16.0 product; these should be backward compatible with older versions of ASE (eg, in case you're connecting to ASE 15.7)

Click on the appropriate link, provide the obligatory 'registration' details and you're provided with a copy of the ASE SDK package.

While the page does mention trial downloads, I've never found the ASE SDK to be limited by any licensing requirements.
