Where can I download the jconn4.jar for SQLA 16

[thomas_duemesnil]

Hello.

From the SQLA 16 Documentations:

The jConnect JDBC driver

The jConnect driver is available as a separate download at http://www.sybase.com/products/allproductsa-z/softwaredeveloperkit/jconnect. Documentation for jConnect can also be found on the same page.

To use JDBC from an applet, you must use the jConnect JDBC driver to connect to SQL Anywhere databases.

Is there an updated Link available ?

Kind regards

Thomas

JConnect is part of the SDK for ASE, downloadable from SAP Service Marketplace.  You can find details on the exact location here:

Actually, after more seaching, I found out that the ASE SDK is available for free download from the SAP Store:

Hope this helps,

Hi Thomas,

Jason's answer is correct for those who have an SAP license for the ASE SDK. If you do not have a license, the way to obtain jConnect is through the ASE Developer's edition which contains a copy of jConnect 16.0:

Hi Jeff

As a developer using the SQL Anywhere 16 database on OS X, how can I get this jconn4.jar file? As ASE is only available on Windows and Unix, not on OS X, can I run the  above shown installer on OS X? I assume not.

I am wondering why this file is not just on an ordinary SQL Anywhere 16 installation?

Thanks for help

Robert

Is it possible to license just the jconn4.jar file for use in an application a developer is going to sell?

[chris_keating]

Robert,

Just noticing that no one responded to your follow-up.

The jConnect driver is not a SQL Anywhere driver although jConnect based connections are an option. You should generally use the SQL Anywhere JDBC driver (sajdbc4.jar) rather than jConnect.

[chris_keating]

Is there a reason you want to use jConnect vs the SQL Anywhere JDBC driver?

[thomas_duemesnil]

JConn4.jar is easier to distribute. It can be used without any additional installation or binary files. So we prefer this Java only version for smaller support tools.

Hi Chris

I would very much like to use the native drivers. But they do not work on OS X. At least in my environment.

Please see this thread: http://sqlanywhere-forum.sap.com/questions/16414/jdbc-driver-for-oracle-data-modeler

Phil Mitchel was hinting to a solution for OS X El Capitan. That would be very welcome.
