Connecting to a Database That Is Not Running

If the database is not yet running, you must specify the database file name and path to connect.

1. Start Sybase Central or and open the Connect dialog (if it doesn’t appear automatically).
2. Open the Identification tab of the dialog, enter a user ID and a password.
3. Click the Database tab of the dialog.
4. Specify a file in the Database File field (including the full path, name, and extension). You can search for a file by clicking Browse.
5. If you want the database name for subsequent connections to be different from the file name, enter a name in the Database Name field (without including a path or extension).
