local-database-server-command
By default, SQL Anywhere attempts to connect to a running database server. If no server can be found with the specified
connection parameters, SQL Anywhere automatically starts a new local database server using the local-database-server-command. The database server is not started automatically if the Host connection parameter is specified or the CommLinks (LINKS)
parameter includes TCPIP. See SQL Anywhere database server syntax.
In this case, the dbsrv12 database server is not started. Instead, the dbeng12 database server that was used to start mydb.db is used to start and connect to myseconddb.db.
However, if Server=server-name had been specified, and a database server named server-name was not running, then the dbsrv12 database server would have started.

The following command uses the recommended syntax:
