Set the name of the database server.
[ dbsrv7 | dbeng7 ] -n string ...
All operating systems and servers.
"Identifiers" on page 223
"EngineName connection parameter" on page 57
By default, the database server receives the name of the database file with
the path and extension removed. For example, if the server is started on the
file
c:\sybase\asa6\asademo.db and no -n switch is specified, the name of
the server is asademo.
The server name is interpreted according to the character set of the machine,
as no database collation exists at startup time. It must be a valid identifier,
and long engine names are truncated to 40 characters. On NetBIOS, 16
characters is the maximum length.
The server name specifies the name to be used in the EngineName parameter
of client application connection strings or profiles. In all environments, there
is a default database server that will be used if no server name is specified,
provided at least one database server is running on the computer.
There are two n switches
The -n switch is positional. If it appears after a database file name, it has
a different meaning.
$ For more information, see "–n command-line option" on page 43.
–o command-line option
Print all server window output to a file.
[ dbsrv7 | dbeng7 ] -o filename ...
All operating systems and servers.
Print all server message window output to a file.
–os command-line option
