Hey there, fellow SQL enthusiasts! I recently stumbled upon a common issue when setting up SQL Anywhere 17 – the ASEOLEDB driver wasn’t included in the installation package. I thought it would be a straightforward process, but it turns out you need to download and register the driver separately.
If you’re facing the same problem, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. After some digging, I found the solution. You can download the ASEOLEDB driver from the official SAP website. Just make sure to select the correct version that matches your SQL Anywhere installation.
Once you’ve downloaded the driver, follow these steps to register it:
* Extract the downloaded zip file to a folder on your system.
* Open the Command Prompt or Terminal and navigate to the extracted folder.
* Run the registration command (e.g., `ASEOLEDB-register.bat` on Windows or `ASEOLEDB-register.sh` on Linux/Mac).
That’s it! Your ASEOLEDB driver should now be registered and ready to use with SQL Anywhere 17.
