ASA Database Administration Guide
Running the Database Server
Some common options
If you use an extensive set of options, you can store them in a configuration file and invoke that file in a server command. The configuration file can contain options on several lines. For example, the following configuration file starts the personal database server and the sample database. It sets a cache of 10 Mb, and names this instance of the personal server Elora. Lines with # as the first comment in the line are treated as comments.
# Configuration file for server Elora -n Elora -c 10M path\asademo.db
In the example, path is the name of your SQL Anywhere directory. On UNIX, you would use a forward slash instead of the backslash in the file path.
If you name the file sample.cfg, you could use these options as follows:
dbeng9 @sample.cfg
For more information, see @filename server option.
