You should try using a client / server paradigm here. In which your client
processes communicate with a server via the network interface classes. Then
the server process could spawn threads to handle dynamically the clients
requests. This solves the problem of requiring the clients to have access
to native functions, because only the server is processing the commands in
the Sybase database and thus requires the sybase libraries. I'm working on
the same type of problem except I'm using Oracle. If you have any other
questions let me know.
