Introducing SQL Anywhere Studio
  The Architecture of Database Applications
    Using multiple databases

Running multiple databases on a single database server

The Adaptive Server Anywhere personal and network database servers can both manage several databases simultaneously. Each connection from an application must be to a single database, but an application can use separate connections to different databases, or a set of applications can work on different databases, all through the same database server.

Databases can be started when the database server is started, or by connecting to a database using the DatabaseFile connection parameter.

For more information, see The database server, and DatabaseFile connection parameter [DBF].
