Extensive file searching on Windows Mobile

On Windows Mobile, SQL Anywhere programs, including the database server and administration utilities, can perform a more extensive search for required files such as DLLs or shared libraries. In these cases, SQL Anywhere programs look for files in the following order:

  1. The module's directory (the directory where the program executable file or library file is located).

  2. The executable directory (the directory where the program executable file or library is located).

  3. The full path specified.

  4. The Location registry entry.

  5. System-specific directories. This includes directories where common operating system files are held, such as Windows.

    Note

    On Windows Mobile, SQL Anywhere searches the following paths relative to each location in the preceding list:

    1. .

    2. ..

    3. .\bin32

    4. ..\bin32

    5. .\java (for Java-related files)

    6. ..\java (for Java-related files)

    7. .\scripts (for SQL script files)

    8. ..\scripts (for SQL script files)
