OK,

Well if libdbi mirrors the perl dbd/dbi interface in any significant
way, i.e. if the libdbi api functions look anything like their perl
equivalents, it might be useful to know that the perl DBD::Sybase plugin
sits over the *ctlib* API.

also, ctlib is a more "low level" API than dblib, so it's likely to be
more flexible to the requirements of libdbi than dblib would. 

HTH,

Bill

No, I had in view of the following.

http://libdbi.sourceforge.net/
"libdbi implements a database-independent abstraction layer in C,
similar to 
the DBI/DBD layer in Perl. Writing one generic set of code, programmers
can 
leverage the power of multiple databases and multiple simultaneous
database 
connections by using this framework."
