See Scope - OpenESQL SQL Compiler Directive Options for more information.
Applications compiled with SQL(DBMAN=ODBC) for .NET must be compiled with the ILTARGET directive specifying the appropriate platform. You cannot specify ILTARGET(AnyCPU) in this case.
Applications that connect to a SQL Server database using an Azure connection must be compiled using the DBMAN=ADO directive before they can be deployed to the cloud.
