Unable to connect to databases after upgrade

Symptom

You have upgraded UltraLite. You discover that you are able to create an empty UltraLite database using the administration tools. However, when you try to connect to this or any other UltraLite database (including CustDB.udb) with Sybase Central, you receive an error. Connecting to SQL Anywhere databases works without incident, however.

Explanation

You did not close all SQL Anywhere applications and processes. Therefore, your UltraLite plug-ins were not installed correctly.

Recommendation

Remove and reinstall SQL Anywhere.

  1. Close Sybase Central, Interactive SQL, and any running database engines.
  2. Run the following commands:
    dbisql -terminate
    scjview -terminate
  3. Open the Windows Task Manager, and end any scjview.exe and dbisql.exe processes.
  4. Reinstall the latest version of UltraLite.
