SQL Anywhere utilities connections

All SQL Anywhere database utilities use embedded SQL to communicate with the database server.

Many of the administration utilities obtain the connection parameter values by:

Using values specified on the command line. For example, the following command starts a backup of the default database on the default server using the user ID DBA and the password sql:
dbbackup -c "UID=DBA;PWD=sql" c:\backup
Using the SQLCONNECT environment variable settings if any values are missing. SQL Anywhere does not set this variable automatically.
