The way I did it was to emacs libct.so and search for a string "10."
or "11.". The open client version isn't neccessarily the same as the
server version.

For most unix platforms try "/usr/bin/strings" ie:

strings $SYBASE/lib/libct.a | grep "Sybase Client-Library"
strings $SYBASE/lib/libsrv.a | grep "Sybase Open Server"
strings $SYBASE/lib/libsybdb.a | grep "Sybase DB-Lib"
...
$SYBASE/bin/dataserver -v
$SYBASE/bin/isql -v
$SYBASE/bin/bcp -v
...
$SYBASE/bin/<most_any_bin> -v

ct_config(context,CS_GET,CS_VER_STRING,buffer,buflen,outlen) call gets
you the current ctlib version.

Swati,
If you are on a unix machine use ar to retrieve the file "db__vinfo.o" from
"libsybdb.a" archive. Use "strings" command on this file to find the version
of the openclient library.

Does anybody know where to find the version history of CT-Lib & DB-Lib? I'm
looking to find, in particular, the version # of the last release of DB-Lib.
I've been through Sybase' web site with no luck.

Thanks,
Mike

Don't really know about a version history, per se, but you
can use the closed and system problem reports that come with
each version of the libraries to build up a rudimentary
history if you like. Of course, if you only want the DB-Lib
version you can call the function dbversion(). But watch out,
this one spews out a lot of crud.

The 2 latest versions of both CT-Lib and DB-Lib (as well as
Open Client and Open Server in general) are 10.0.4 and 11.1.
If you run "isql -v" you'll get the full version string.
