Hy guys,
I have a strange problem:
I have SQL Server 7 running on my pc and I cannot connect to a sybase (Ver 11.9) db from Query Analyzer, but I can from command prompt launching isql.exe.
If I insert a wrong pwd in Query analyzer I receive a login error, but if the pwd is correct I receive a general network error, so the error is beyond authentication step.
I can ping the server where Sybase db is and it pings me.
I really have no idea!!
Can anyone help me, please??
Thanks, Fabio

I don't think that will work. SQL Server has come a fair way since Sybase.

There are tools that will work with both, have a look at DB Artisan from www.embarcadero.com

I believe this is probably because isql uses DBLibrary to connect whereas Query Analyzer uses ODBC. Are you sure you should be able to use SQL7 Query Analyzer to connect to Sybase ? ( I appreciate that they were once the same product but that's not the case now which might be a reason why legacy tools like isql still work - try connecting with osql - if that doesn't work, Query Analyser won't work)
