SQL Anywhere Client: where is it?

[#1]

We are about to flip the switch and upgrade from SQL Anyhwere 5.5 to 11. Our clients connect through ODBC to the database server, so I need to roll out SQL Anywhere ODBC client drivers so I can set up system DSNs in ODBC. My problem is that I can't find the client anywhere.

I can install the complete software on a machine, and I have actually done that for testing, but I don't want to roll out DB management tools to every user in our organization.

Where can I download "just the client" for SQL Anywhere 11?

You can also grab 4 DLLs from one of your installations: (C:\\Program Files\\SQL Anywhere 11\\win32)

1. dbodbc11.dll
2. dblib11.dll
3. dbcon11.dll
4. dblgen11.dll

Then on each client machine, register (regsvr32) dbodbc11.dll

I do it this way because I package this into our own application's install packages.

Works well for us...

I suppose ...win32 should read ...Bin32. Things are changing from what they used to be in them good ol' days.

Ah, did not know that (we're still using 10.0.1), thanks for the info!
