The Windows Mobile database server does not start the TCP/IP network link unless it is explicitly requested.

On Windows Mobile, attempting to start a second SQL Anywhere database server while a first database server is already running brings the first server to the foreground. This is standard behavior for Windows Mobile applications. Because of this behavior, you cannot run two database servers at the same time on a Windows Mobile device. However, SQL Anywhere supports running multiple databases on a single database server.
