  1. Is jconn2/jconn4 supports Sybase 16.3?
  2. is there any link wherein i can find this support information

Solution

  • You can review the various versions of JConnect here: https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/SYBCON/jConnect+Driver+Overview

    Watch out for this change as well:

    Major changes: from jconn3.jar to jconn4.jar from SDK 15.5 ESD#3 and higher DYNAMIC_PREPARE changed the default setting from false in jconn3 to true with jconn4. ref: http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc20155.1550/html/newfesd/CIHCIIJE.htm

    This changed caused us serious issues with spinlock contention in procedure cache after a SDK patch where this was enabled.
