Connection String Changes in Different ASE Client Versions

274 Views

When we migrated from Sybase client (Adaptive Server Enterprise?) 12.5 to 15.5 there were changes in the connection string format:

Under Sybase 12.5, connection strings typically looked like this:

Provider=Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider.2;Data Source=APPLICATION;Initial Catalog=R01223;User ID=$USER;Password=$PASSWORD

The equivalent string for Sybase 15.5 looks like this:

Provider=Sybase OLEDB Provider;Data Source=application.domain.com:8000;Initial Catalog=R01223;User ID=$USER;Password=$PASSWORD

Now, in 15.7, the connection string appears to have changed again:

Provider=ASEOLDB;Data Source=application.domain.com:8000;Initial Catalog=R01223;User ID=$USER;Password=$PASSWORD

Is there a way for me to upgrade to 15.7 SP136 without having to force another connection string change?
