Database Connections Strings

Many backup and recovery tasks require you to connect to a database using various command line tools. These tools use a connection string that defines connection variable values required for a given database. Before entering a connection string, use dbisql, located in SMP_HOME\Servers\SQLAnywhere16\BINXX, to verify that you can connect to the database.
