As Chuck mentioned, the only reason there isn't one already is that no 
one has written it.  I don't have access to a Sybase server, so I don't 
plan on writing an adapter myself.

Minimal adapter support isn't difficult to write if you have access to 
the native driver API.  I'm happy to review and give suggestions on an 
adapter someone else writes, and including it with Sequel when it is 
working.

Also, if Sybase has a JDBC driver, it's possible you can already connect 
to it via Sequel's JDBC adapter (same for ODBC or DBI).
