I'll think of something
but returning to the dll issue, you mention you endd up using odbc and I see
there are two backends to choose from. The odbc and the mssql, so, i'm getting
this right? If I use odbc that dll is not needed?
Any reason not to use odbc?

Hi,
libsybdb.dll is for sybase, it may have worked well with (very) old
versions of sql server but is definitely not the correct way to connect
to MS sql server
(*plus MS has it's own version of dblib.dll).
(*plus I'm not sure that deploying sybase native libs is legal).
The MS recommendations for client connectivity to Sql server is not to
use native libraries but instead use a "standard" layer.
it's a long story, but to make it short odbc seems to be the best choice
once again: MS preconizations: odbc, then rdo, then dao, then oledb,
then ado, (and ado.net) and finally odbc again (on top of sql native
client) with ado.net for dotnet.

I don't know how it works with opendbx, but odbc is quite solid,
and you don't have to take care of native libs deployment.
IMHO a good choice
