The way you start the database server varies slightly depending on the operating system you use. This section describes how to specify commands for the simple case of running a single database with default settings on each supported operating system.
Except where otherwise noted, these commands start the personal server (dbeng10). To start a network server, replace dbeng10 with dbsrv10.
If the database file is in the starting directory for the command, you do not need to specify path.
If you do not specify a file extension in database-file, the extension .db is assumed.
Open a command prompt.
Enter the following command:
dbeng10 path\database-file
If you omit the database file, the Server Startup Options dialog appears where you can locate a database file using Browse.
For more information about starting a database server on Windows CE, see Connecting to a database running on a Windows CE device.
Open a command prompt.
Enter the following command:
dbeng10 path/database-file
There is no personal server for Novell NetWare, just a network server. The following command starts the network server on NetWare.
The database server for NetWare is a NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) (dbsrv10.nlm). An NLM is a program that you can run on your NetWare server. Load a database server on your NetWare server as follows:
load dbsrv10.nlm path\database-file
The database file must be on a NetWare volume. A typical file name has the form DB:\database\sales.db.
You can load the server from a client computer using the Novell remote console utility. See your NetWare documentation for details.
You can put the command into your NetWare autoexec.ncf file so that SQL Anywhere loads automatically each time you start the NetWare server.
