Current Pega Application in Pega 7.3 uses Connect SQL to connect to external Sybase DB for Data retrieval and Data updates.

We are planning for an upgrade to Pega v8.8 (Containerized deployment) will the images still support the jdbc drivers needed for the Sybase connect. If not, what are the additional measures to be done to accomplish this?

@SIVASAKTHI  
JDBC drivers can be imported into application. Designer studio → configure-\> application -\>distribution → Import.

Post import , update JDBC class name in the DSS “prconfig/database/drivers/default”
