OK - I will try those instead.

It appears not to correctly pass on the database name (asademo in my example), 
even though the code looks quite reasonable (that is, the mono Tds.cs code).

I did supply very little information - perhaps to little - but I was only 
really interessted in knowing if it was the right approach.

It is not easy for me to figure out from the webpages, which method to use to 
access a Sybase SQL AnyWhere installation, so I was mostly interessted in 
checking if I had the right approach. Apparently not, so I will check the 
SybaseClient instead. If I can not make that work, rest assured I will bug 
you with more information ;-)

Thanks, and regards,

Mads
