I'm sure that the database is not required by ns_pd (meaning the protocol) since the protocol is meant to support a number of datasource formats. As for the Sybase driver, I believe there's what could be considered a bug in the code that it may not parse the datasource properly if the database is not specified. It was never an issue at AOL because we always specified a datasource name, but you are correct that since Sybase supports a default database, the datasource probably should support it as well. One of these days. Meanwhile, if you don't specify a database for the Sybase driver, I'm pretty sure it would be...bad.
