Just make sure all the metadata functions are supported in your driver also. 
If MS SQL Server ( is it still really Sybase? ) uses TDS for communication
still, the information needed to correctly code the metadata functions
required by jdbc ( and village ) are not available ( look in the turbine
mailing list for Sybase ) in the TDS stream.  And so in the case of the
JConnect jdbc drivers, those functions are not supported, thus the underlying
jdbc classes of Turbine ( Village api ) is not supported and thus turbine ( as
it stands ) cannot use Sybase (via Village).  You can/have to reimplement the
permissions to use your own db access classes, which is fairly easy and well
designed into the turbine framework.

This of course is for using the db to hold permissions and stuff, connection
pooling I believe will work.

PPS: Errr, I read that as $1000 for the DRIVER!
