1. Install the Java Runtime environment or Install the JDK from www.java.com
2. Set the PATH environment variable for Java compiler and interpreter as
PATH=.:$PATH:"/bin"
export PATH
3. Download the jconnect(Sybase Driver) from Sybase and untar/unzip the package from http://www.sybase.com/products/middleware/jconnectforjdbc
4. You need to define two env variable CLASSPATH & JDBC_HOME
i)Set the JDBC_HOME as
[sybase@localhost jConnect-6_0]$ JDBC_HOME="/home/sybase/15.5/jConnect-6_0"
[sybase@localhost jConnect-6_0]$ export JDBC_HOME
[sybase@localhost jConnect-6_0]$ echo $JDBC_HOME
/home/sybase/15.5/jConnect-6_0
ii) Set the CLASSPATH as
[sybase@localhost jConnect-6_0]$CLASSPATH="$JDBC_HOME/classes":"/home/sybase/15.5/jConnect-6_0/classes/jconn3.jar ":.
[sybase@localhost jConnect-6_0]$ export CLASSPATH
[sybase@localhost jConnect-6_0]$ echo $CLASSPATH
.:/home/sybase/15.5/jConnect-6_0/classes/jconn3.jar:/home/sybase/15.5/jConnect-6_0/classes
5. Install the Jconnect stored procs and tables :
For jConnect to function properly, you must install stored procedures and tables on the Adaptive Server Enterprise or ASA.
Go the $JDBC_HOME/classes
java IsqlApp -U sa -P -S jdbc:sybase:Tds:localhost.localdomain:5000 -I $JDBC_HOME/sp/sql_server15.0.sql -c go
6. If installation is successful, you need to test the installation
For testing you can check using following Applet : run from $JDBC_HOME
java sample2.SybSample Version
If everything is fine, you can get the jconnect version in output window.
7. Testing Java connectivity with Sybase ASE
[sybase@localhost ~]$ cat JdbcTest.java
import java.sql.* ;
public class JdbcTest
{
public static void main( String args[] )
{
try
{
Class.forName( "com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver" ) ;
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:sybase:Tds:localhost.localdomain:5000", "sa", "") ;
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement() ;
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( "SELECT * FROM master..sysdatabases" ) ;
while( rs.next() )
System.out.println( rs.getString(1) ) ;
rs.close() ;
stmt.close() ;
conn.close() ;
}
catch( Exception e )
{ System.out.println( e ) ; }
}
}
i)Compile the code
[sybase@localhost ~]$ javac JdbcTest.java
ii)Test your code
[sybase@localhost ~]$ java JdbcTest
master
model
tempdb
sybsystemdb
sybsystemprocs
pubs2
sybsecurity
