Is it possible to maintain a connection to Sybase with dblib in an app that  
also uses the DBKit?

Thanks,
Bill Parod

Yes. I have found DBKit to be useful for some things, but too restrictive for others. The
only way around this is to go straight into DB-Library.

Hi all 

	I am interested in buying a next machine , possibly a used
one, or a new one would be fine too . Would anyone care to give me an
idea of how much I am about to spend on a particular model and what
does the package entail (software and hardware). Thanks.



Is anyone interested in selling their Next Machine?

Please respond to ae2@cunixa.cc.columbia.edu.
Thanks

P.S. Is there an educational discount for the Next?

Yes, however...

There appears to be no way to get at the DBPROC structure that the Sybase
adaptor uses to establish the database connection.  Therefore, you will
need to connect to the database twice-- once for the dblib stuff, and
again for the DBKIT stuff.  And that leads to the next problem...

There appears to be no way to access the complete login information (including  
password) that the DBDatabase object used to make a connection.  Therefore, the  
dblib connection will have to be made first, and the login information that it
used can then be used to programmatically initiate the DBKIT connection.  And  
that leads to the next problem...

For the reasons outlined above, you won't be able to use the DBKIT's automatic  
login panel.  You'll have to write your own login panel for dblib (although  
this is very straight-forward and easy to do).
