Both the SQL Anywhere personal database server and the network database server can manage many 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, by connecting to a database using the DatabaseFile connection parameter, or by using the START DATABASE statement.
