# Sybase Connection Help

RazorSQL ships with the JDBC drivers necessary to connect to Sybase databases. There is also an ODBC driver available for Sybase, and if using Windows, users can connect to Sybase with RazorSQL using ODBC assuming an ODBC datasource has been configured for Sybase in the ODBC control panel. However, it is recommended that users use the Sybase JDBC driver that ships with RazorSQL.

## Connecting to Sybase via JDBC

To connect to a Sybase database, select the JDBC (JConnect for A.S.E.) connection type from the connection type list. Enter any login information if applicable, and then enter the host or ip address of the Sybase server, and the port Sybase is listening on. Next, enter the name of the Sybase database to connect to.

## Connecting to Sybase via ODBC

To connect to Sybase via ODBC, the Sybase ODBC driver must be downloaded and installed. Next, an ODBC data source must be set up via the Windows data sources control panel. See the following link for more information:
