Is it possible to connect a .NET application directly to a Sybase SQL Anywhere db file

I'm working on a .NET application to connect to an existing Sybase SQL anywhere database which is a .db file. Is it possible to connect it directly to the .db file just like how you would to an Access data file database or does it need a server to host the .db file just like MSSQL? If it is possible, how do I do it? Thank you very much :) I'm almost always using OLEDB.

Solution

  • The db file is not a normal readable file, and without the server installed, it can not be accessed.

    The server is required to connect to the database, and to set up an client connections.
