How ODBC Driver for ASE works

Direct connection to SAP Sybase ASE

Our connector communicates with SAP Sybase ASE directly over TCP/IP, eliminating the need for an intermediate database client or additional connectivity layer. This simplifies deployment and configuration while reducing the possibility of connection failure.

Direct access lets you work with current ASE data in real time, without maintaining separate copies or synchronization processes. The result is a straightforward, reliable connection that makes live ASE data readily available for reporting, analytics, ETL, and other data workflows.

  • Direct TCP/IP connection with no ASE client or SAP Open Client required
  • Faster data transmission for real-time analytics
  • Simpler deployment with no additional client software to distribute
  • Secure connections: SSL/TLS, SSH, and HTTP/HTTPS tunneling
  • Built-in SSH client with no separate SSH client needed
  • IPv6 support

FAQ

What is the SAP Sybase ASE ODBC Driver?

Devart ODBC Driver for SAP Sybase ASE is a standards-compliant ODBC connector that gives ODBC-aware applications direct, real-time SQL access to SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (formerly Sybase ASE) over TCP/IP with no ASE client to install. The Driver is a cross-platform tool that enables connectivity to ASE on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

How do I connect to Sybase ASE using ODBC?

Install the Driver, create a DSN with your ASE server/host, port (the default port is 5000), database, user ID, and password, optionally enabling SSL/TLS or SSH, then point any ODBC-compliant tool—Power BI, Excel, Tableau, or others—at that DSN. See the Get started guide for step-by-step setup instructions.

Do I need the ASE client or SAP Open Client installed?

No. The Driver connects directly to ASE over TCP/IP and requires no ASE client, SAP Open Client, or SDK. When using Devart ODBC Driver for ASE, you do not need to install or distribute any other software.

Is the connection secure?

Yes. The Driver supports SSL/TLS (with custom certificates and password-protected keys), SSH (with no need to install a separate SSH client), and HTTP/HTTPS tunneling; SSL and SSH can be used at the same time.

Which operating systems are supported, and is there a 64-bit Driver?

The Driver supports Windows, macOS (including Apple silicon), and Linux, in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, allowing you to choose the bitness of the Driver matching the bitness of your application.

Which SAP Sybase ASE versions are supported?

The Driver works with Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.5.4 and higher, and SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise 16.0 and higher.

What does an ASE ODBC connection string look like?

It points the Driver at your server, for example: DRIVER={Devart ODBC Driver for ASE};Server=your_ase_server;Port=5000;Database=your_ase_database;User ID=your_ase_user_id;Password=your_ase_password. You can also configure these settings through a DSN.

Where can I download the SAP Sybase ASE ODBC Driver?

Download the SAP Sybase ASE installer for your operating system for a free 30-day trial. You can activate the same installer with a license key after purchase.
