<?php

return [
    ...
    'connections' => [
        ...
        'sybase' => [
            'driver' => 'sybasease',
            'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'sybase.myserver.com'),
            'port' => env('DB_PORT', '5000'),
            //'dsn' => env('DB_DSN'),  // remove comment in case you define an odbc connection in your env
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'mydatabase'),
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'user'),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'),
            'prefix' => '',
        ],
        ...
    ],
    ...
]

To use different charset set on your .env

DB_CHARSET=DBCHARSET
APPLICATION_CHARSET=APPLICATIONCHARSET

for example:

DB_CHARSET=CP850
APPLICATION_CHARSET=UTF-8

Update your .env with the settings for the sybase connection. See the following example:

...

DB_CONNECTION=sybase
DB_HOST=sybase.mycompany.com
DB_PORT=5000
#remove comment on next line to use odbc
#DB_DSN="odbc:\\\\sybase_odbc_name"
DB_DATABASE=mydatabase
DB_USERNAME=user
DB_PASSWORD=password

...

Configuration of freetds driver

In Linux systems the driver version must be set in freetds.conf file to the right use of charset pages.

The file is usualy found in /etc/freetds/freetds.conf. Set the configuration at global section as the following example:

[sybase]
    host = sybase.mycompany.com
    # port is important
    port = 6000
    # TDS protocol version
    tds version = 5.0

[sqlserver]
    host = mssql.mycompany.com
    # When connecting to an instance you specify it, and there's no need for the port directive
    instance = sqlexpress
    tds version = 7.3

[sqlserverexpress]
    host = myssqlexpress.mycompany.com
    port = 1433
    tds version = 7.3
