Do I need anything more than a db file and the Database Toolbox to access a Sybase database?

I have been given two files MyDatabase.db and MyDatabase.log file by a coworker, who said they are a Sybase database. To access the database, I downloaded a trial of the Database Toolbox R2019b, but am having trouble configuring the data source or connecting using the Database Explorer app. Do I need to install any Sybase software on my machine, or should I be able to access MyDatabase directly from the Database Toolbox? I am ignorant enough that I could be missing something basic.

I have installed Sybase software and can use it to connect to the database. In Matlab, I think I need the 32-bit version of the Database Toolbox so will have to figure if I also need 32-bit Matlab to run it (I am using 64-bit R2019b). If that fixes the connection issues, I will update.

Hi,

I guess this might be the issue with your JDBC driver, try installing it and add it to the MATLAB path. These resource link might help you solve your issue with Sybase.
