Use the default parameters to connect to a single personal server with a single database:

UID=user-id
PWD=password

If more than one database is on a single personal server, use the default server settings, and specify the database you want to connect to:

DBN=db-name
UID=user-id
PWD=password

If more than one server is running, specify which server you want to connect to. You do not need to specify the database name if only a single database is on that server. The following connection string connects to a named server, using the default database:

Server=server-name
UID=user-id
PWD=password

The following connection string connects to a database running on a different computer:

Host=host-name
DBN=db-name
UID=user-id
PWD=password

The following connection string connects to a named local server, using a named database:

Server=server-name
DBN=db-name
UID=user-id
PWD=password

To connect to a network server running on a different computer:

Host=host-name
Server=server-name
DBN=dbn
UID=user-id
PWD=password

If Host is not specified, only local shared memory connections are attempted.

If you are connecting from Sybase Central, Interactive SQL, or the SQL Anywhere Console utility (dbconsole), you can choose the Connect To A Running Database On Another Computer option on the Connect window to attempt a network connection.
