Not ODBC Drive, its ODBC driver. Have you set up linked server before? |

in books online (the SQL Server help shipped with the server install) look for those terms... linked server / openrowset / opendatasource. then if you get stuck implementing it post back here with a specific query.or maybe even try GOOGLE? this was the first result when i just searched....http://support.microsoft.com/kb/280102Em |

I think he's wanting to connect and use Enterprise Manager with Sybase the same way we use it with SQL Server and see and administer Sybase with Enterprise Manager instead of SQL Advantage that came with Sybase. If that's possible, I'd like to hear about it too. A linked server would allow you to query the Sybase tables but can you link it into EM and browse Sybase tables via GUI and all? |

ah... maybe that is what OP means from memory, i used to use a linked server with SQL 2000 to oracle and could browse the tables (under linked servers etc...) but no admin tasks etc of course, that's just crazy talk Em |

Yea, I've never tried anything like that. Several years ago I had to administer a Sybase db for a few months and the Sybase software was much more difficult (for me) to use than EM so I can see why the OP would want to use EM if it's possible. |

Setup linked server with ODBC (MSDASQL) for sybase and you can see tables and views in sybase. |
