Access SQL Anywhere from .NET Core 3.1

[dhkom]

What is the preferred way to access SQL Anywhere from a .NET Core 3.1 application?

Last December (2019) the question https://sqlanywhere-forum.sap.com/questions/34551/planned-net-core-support-again produced a statement from SAP, "there are no plans to add .NET Core support to SQL Anywhere clients at this time."

We would like to write a REST .NET web service in C# .NET Core 3.1, accessing a SQL Anywhere 16 or 17 database.

Thanks.

We use ODBC. First get a SQL Anywhere ODBC connection working. Then in your Core project install the nuget package System.Data.Odbc. You can then use OdbcConnection etc to access your data.

Thanks. And it looks like connection pooling is supported, which is important.
