analyse database

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've got a database file (*.db) from a customer who asks me to analyse its content. All what he knows is that it's a SQL Anywhere database, but no version number.

I've already downloaded SQL Anywhere Developer version 12 and 10. But both products reports a connection error, that this database was created with another version.

So how can I detect the database version to download the right developer suite ?

Hi,

thanks so far. Meanwhile I installed version 9 of developer suite and when trying to build up a connection at least no message comes up, that the database version doesn't match with the developer version.

But the next hurdle seems to be UserID and password. All what I got from my customer was "Administrator" and "admin". But this leads to an errormessage, that one of both is wrong.

So is there something like a SuperuserID/password, so that a connection succeeds ?

There is no backdoor "super user" to login to the database... unless, you, the application writer created one when you deployed your application.

If you do not know the userid/password then you will not be able to login to the database.

When a SQL Anywhere database is created the default user name and passwords are DBA and SQL, respectively, so try those if you haven't already.
