Xill Sybase plugin

This package contains everything you need to access a Sybase database

Setting up the environment

  1. Make sure you have access to a Sybase database Server.
  2. Install Xill IDE.
  3. Extract the plugin-sybase-1.0.0-zip-with-dependecies.zip file in temporary directory. Do not unpack it in <user-path>/.xillio/xill/3.0/plugins. This will corrupt the loading of the plugin.

Configuring for Windows

  1. Find the directory where the file Xill IDE.cfg is found.
  2. Copy plugin-sybase-1.0.0/bin/jconn4-16.0.jar and plugin-sybase-1.0.0/bin/plugin-sybase-1.0.0.jar from the extracted zip file to the lib inside this directory.
  3. Edit the Xill IDE.cfg configuration file and look up the line starting with app.classpath=....
    Add the following entries at the end of this line ;lib/jconn4-16.0.jar;lib/plugin-sybase-1.0.0.jar
    Please note the semi colons that are used as delimiter for the classpath.
  4. Start Xill IDE and check if the Sybase package is present.
