Specifies the directory where the dbspaces for the database are located. The -ds database option must be specified after the database-file, and applies only to that database.
{ dbsrv10 | dbeng10 } -ds dbspace-directory ...
All operating systems and servers.
When a dbspace directory is specified, this is the only directory the database server searches for dbspaces. The location of the dbspace appears in the Server Messages window.
If your backup includes dbspaces with full path names, you can use this option to start the backed up copy of the database on the same computer as the original database while the original database is still running.
The following example starts a database server that looks for dbspaces in the directory c:\backup\Nov15:
dbeng10 c:\backup\Nov15\my.db -ds c:\backup\Nov15\
The following example starts a database server that looks for dbspaces in the current directory:
dbeng10 my.db -ds .
