Sybase Anywhere 12 Attach or Restore (*.db and *.log files)

[Former Member]

Hi, I think there serdar.db and serdar.log Sybase database files.

I installed the Sybase Anywhere 12 database server. Windows 7 64 Bit. Working now.

My question is. serdar.db and serdar.log files, Anywhere Server How I would like to attach or restored?

If "attach" means "start", just specify the filespec for serdar.db on the dbsrv12 command line:

   "%SQLANY12%\\bin64\\dbsrv12.exe" serdar.db

In case you come from a MS SQL Server or Sybase ASE background - SQL Anywhere has a different concept: There's no "master database", each database is independent of each other, and so you don't have to "attach" a database to a particular server instance. Instead you can simply

• start a database engine with the specified database (as Breck has shown) or
• use the START DATABASE statement to "load" a database on an already running database.
