SSMS connection to Sybase ASE

Question

Is there a way to connect to a Sybase (ASE) database instance using Sql Server Management Studio 2008? I tried using other tools to connect but they are very limited and would like to use SSMS.

Solution 1

You can use this tool:

SqlDbx

It's great.

Solution 2

As far as i know there is no way to use Microsoft's Server Management Studio. And if you are honest it doesnt make a lot sense either. why should sybase/sap design their servers to work with an application provided from a competitor.

personally i prefer to use isql as client software for sybase servers. if you wish to have a GUI may Sybase Central is an option for you.
