The following table lists the parameters of the database server/database file. You specify the database file after the server options in the command syntax.
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
-n server-name |
Specifies the name of the database server. |
database-file |
Specifies the database file name. If database-file is specified without a file extension, Sybase IQ looks for database-file with extension .db. If you use a relative path, the path is read relative to the current working directory of the server. You can supply a full path. On Windows you can supply a path that conforms to the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format: \\server\volume\path\file.ext |
WARNING! The database file must be on the same machine as the database server. Managing a database file that is located on a network drive can lead to file corruption.
