Thanks to the help here I have successfully installed the database driver and can now perform connections.
Sadly I'm not quite getting my syntax right on the connection so I need a little bit of help...
Our server is publicly addressable (but firewall etc) and requires us to use port 2640
Initially I tried:
sasql_connect("Dbn=TestData;UID=myuser;PWD=SuperSecretPa55word;ServerName=remotehost.mycustomer.co.uk:264");
but I get the following error:
sasql_connect(): SQLAnywhere: [-100] Database server not found
I have the following connection string which I have found by searching on here and stackoverflow
sasql_connect("Dbn=TestData;Uid=myuser;Pwd=SuperSecretPa55word;CommLinks=tcpip(host=remotehost.mycustomer.co.uk:2640)");
But now it gives me the following error:
sasql_connect(): SQLAnywhere: [-832] Connection error: Error in TCPIP port options
Any help gratefully received!
