Connecting JDeveloper to sybase database

Question

I'm trying to connect my JDeveloper to a sybase database server instead of an oracle database server. I first wanted to know if it's possible and second what do i need to put in the connection parameters. I have installed the sybase client on my machine and here are the contents of the sql.ini file
------------------------------sql.ini
[SDSYBASE]
master=NLWNSCK,sd-sybase,5003
query=NLWNSCK,sd-sybase,5003
Should i choose third party JDBC driver as a connection type and if so what about the driver class where can i get it from.
Please if anyone can help i would appreciate it a lot.

Answer 1

guys i figured it out. for those of you who will face the same problem here is what i did.
1) add the following file jtds-1.2.2.jar to C:\JDeveloper\jdbc\lib directory. download the jar file from sourceforge.
2) Click on new database connection and put in your connection name and select Third party JDBC driver from the Connection type drop down
3) put in the username and password of the database you want to connect to
4) Step 3 of 4 click new on the driver class
in the driver class put net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver
in the library Jtds-1.2.2.jar
in the classpath C:\JDeveloper\jdbc\lib\jtds-1.2.2.jar
click on OK
in the URL put jdbc:jtds:sybase://<hostname>:<port>/db_name
test your connection and it should work.
