Environment variables
SQLCONNECT=parameter#value; ...
The SQLCONNECT environment variable is optional, and is not set by the installation program.
SQLCONNECT specifies connection parameters that are used by several of the database administration utilities when connecting to a database server. This string is a list of parameter settings, of the form parameter=value, delimited by semicolons.
The number sign "#" is an alternative to the equal sign, and should be used if you are setting the connection parameters string in the SQLCONNECT environment variable. Using "=" inside an environment variable setting is a syntax error. The = sign is allowed only in Windows NT/2000/XP.
For a description of the connection parameters, see Connection parameters.
