Connect to Sybase IQ Data in DBArtisan

The CData ODBC Driver for Sybase IQ seamlessly integrates Sybase IQ data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Sybase IQ data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Sybase IQ in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.

Integrate Sybase IQ Data into DBArtisan Projects

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

To connect to SybaseIQ, set User, Password, Server and Database properties. To secure connections with TLS/SSL, set UseSSL to TRUE.

You can then follow the steps below to register Sybase IQ data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic ODBC.
3. Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
4. Finish the wizard to connect to Sybase IQ data. Sybase IQ entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

You can now work with Sybase IQ data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Sybase IQ API.
