  Running the Database Server

Running the server outside the current session


When you log on to a computer using a user ID and a password, you establish a session. When you start a database server, or any other application, it runs within that session. When you log off the computer, all applications associated with the session terminate.

It is common to require database servers to be available all the time. To make this easier, you can run Adaptive Server Anywhere for Windows NT/2000/XP and for UNIX in such a way that, when you log off the computer, the database server remains running. The way you do this depends on your operating system.
