If you are looking for simplicity I'd recommend using the dblib API.

We don't, in general, document the APIs because they are designed to
be compatible with the vendor APIs and the vendors have professional
tech writers.  Check out
http://sybooks.sybase.com/onlinebooks/group-cn/cng1251e  and click the
"DB-Library" link, particularly chapter 1.
