Chapter 4 Database Administration Utilities

Use specified ODBC driver or driver manager (-l) Use a particular
ODBC driver or driver manager library. This is particularly useful on UNIX,
where you may wish to specify a particular shared object file.
If you specify
-l, the -m switch is set automatically.
For example, the following command line uses the Adaptive Server
Anywhere ODBC driver directly on Windows operating systems, without the
driver manager:
dbping -m -c "dsn=ASA 7.0 Sample" -l dbodbc7
Use ODBC Driver Manager (-m) By default,
dbping
attempts a
connection using the embedded SQL interface. You can use the -m (or -l)
options to use the ODBC interface.
Unless you specify a different library using -l, the ODBC driver manager is
used on Windows operating systems. On UNIX, the Adaptive Server
Anywhere ODBC driver is used.
If you are using -m or -l, an Adaptive Server Anywhere data source name
should be supplied as part of the connection string. If no data source name is
supplied, you must specify the Driver= connection parameter.
Log output messages to file (–o) Write output messages to the named
file.
Operate quietly (–q) If
dbping
fails, a message is always displayed. If
dbping
succeeds, no message appears if -q is specified.
