4DLSQL is a clone of 4D SQL Server plugin. The goal is to implement most used calls of 4D SQL Server and make their APIs compatible to simplify the transition to 4D 2003 (or later) and MacOSX/MacOS9/Win32. 4DLSQL requires Sybase OpenClient which comes with MacOSX version of Sybase Adaptive Enterprise Server or can be ordered separately from sybase.

4DLSQL is the only Sybase plugin for 4D using Sybase's own software for communicating with Sybase databases. There might be some other clones of 4D SQL Server that use FreeTDS. Please do check if you can get support from Sybase when using those plugins in mission critical systems.

It is the fastest way to communicate with Sybase comparing those plugins using ODBC and JDBC.

Here are some key features of "4DLSQL":
Support MacOSX, MacOS9 and Win32 platforms
Call most used Open Client/DB rutines from 4D
Bind to data with native 4D data types
Support non-GUI context calls
Text and image supports
RPC support
Two-phase commit service support
Compatible to 4D SQL Server plugin for easy transition to MacOSX
With instructions for converting 4D database to use 4DLSQL in minutes.

What's New:
New feature: Win32 support.

Requirements:
Sybase OpenClient 12.5 or higher.
