Hello, Before posting I have searched the forum and I could't find that LLBgenPro is supporting ADS(Advantage Database Server by sybase).

A Yes/No will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and regards Austin

Hi Austin,

I'm not expert in Sybase, but "Advantage Database Server" is not the same as "Sybase iAnywhere - Embedded Database"?

No, ADS isn't supported, or will it be supported in the (near) future

No problem, we're here to help.

If you search the forums there are threads on here about creating your own database provider. According to Frans it is not a particularly large or complicated job, usually involving starting with one of the existing providers and modifying it to match your db.

It is dependent on being able to retrieve the relevant meta-data from the database, not all of them (VistaDB to name one) provide it.
