Update your config/database.php's default driver with the settings for the sybase or your custom odbc. See the following example:

<?php

...

return [
    ...

    'connections' => [
        ...

        'sybase' => [
            'driver' => 'sqlsrv',
            'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'sybase.myserver.com'),
            'port' => env('DB_PORT', '5000'),
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'mydatabase'),
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'user'),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'),
            'charset' => 'utf8',
            'prefix' => '',
        ],

        ...
    ],

    ...
]

Update your .env with the settings for the sybase or your custom odbc. See the following example:

...

DB_CONNECTION=sybase
DB_HOST=sybase.myserver.com
DB_PORT=5000
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:

[global]
    # TDS protocol version
    tds version = 5.0

Setting to use numeric data type

In the migration file you must replace use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint; with use Uepg\LaravelSybase\Database\Schema\Blueprint;. See the following example:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
// use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Uepg\LaravelSybase\Database\Schema\Blueprint; // or "use UepgBlueprint as Blueprint"
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('table_name', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->numeric('column_name', length, autoIncrement);
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('table_name');
    }
}
