Dear all,

Installed sybase adaptive server Enterprize version 12.5.1 on Win2k3.

Database is working fine and started on Port No 2638.

While connecting to Sybase from Diver Sybase ASE ODBC Driver i am not able to connect to the database and getting error "connection time out" and "Verify Host Name and Port Number".

When i create a Connection from Integration Services 2005 i can connect to the Sybase Database and retive the table name but when i try to preview the table information i get the following error.

"Unable to retrieve column information from the DataSource".

Do i need to any other ODBC Driver to connect to sybase database.

regards,

sufian

Hi Sufian,

I haven't used that particular driver before, but from the symptoms I think you might be able to work around the difficulties you're having. Even though Preview is not working, that doesn't necessarily mean that you can't use the driver to build functioning packages -- try creating your package using the component and executing it, and you may find that you're still able to use this driver.

If not, I'd suggest taking a look at the SSIS Connectivity wiki at http://ssis.wik.is to find the best options for connecting to Sybase from SSIS.

Did you try specifying the port number explicitly in the odbc settings By default it takes 5000 as port.
