EOL for Sybase ASE, Openclient/Openserver on MacOSX

ASE, Databases, Mac OSX, News, OS, Sybase Add comments

Sybase has decided that supporting ASE and Open client/Open server (SDK) on the Apple Mac OSX platform is not viable.  End of life for all three is 12/31/2009.

ASE End of Life Notice
Open Client End of Life Notice
Open Server End of Life Notice

Thanks to Neal (Sybase Neal) on sybase.public.macosx for pointing this out :)

Alternatives?  For ASE and OpenServer, you will need to migrate to a supported platform (Linux, Windows, etc).  For Open Client, you have the option of using FreeTDS, an open source drop in replacement for OpenClient - they even work with ODBC, or using jConnect (a JDBC v4 compliant driver).
