The ODBC driver is a shared object or shared library. Separate versions of the SQL Anywhere ODBC driver are supplied for single-threaded and multithreaded applications. A generic SQL Anywhere ODBC driver is supplied that will detect the threading model in use and direct calls to the appropriate single-threaded or multithreaded library.

The ODBC drivers are the following files:

The libraries are installed as symbolic links to the shared library with a version number (shown in parentheses).

In addition, the following bundles are also provided for Mac OS X:

When linking an ODBC application on Unix, link your application against the generic ODBC driver libdbodbc16. When deploying your application, ensure that the appropriate (or all) ODBC driver versions (non-threaded or threaded) are available in the user's library path.

If SQL Anywhere does not detect the presence of an ODBC driver manager, it uses the system information file for data source information.
