Connect to Deprecated Sybase Database

I'm trying to connect to a Sybase Adaptive SQL Anywhere database that is running version 9. I'm currently trying to use iAnywhere.Data.AsaClient.dll. When I try to create a new connection,

 AsaConnection myConnection = new AsaConnection();

I get System.IO.FileNotFoundException stating File dbdata9.dll was not found.

I can't find dbdata9.dll anywhere and it seems as if Sybase has long since deprecated that version. Is there anyway to get this file or are there any other tools that I can use to get access to this data programmatically?

Solution

  • I used Java instead, following this article with a few modifications. I have access to jconn4.jar so I was able to add that as a reference.
