Chapter 6. Using Character-Mode ISQL

DOS: First, you should be in the subdirectory containing the SQL Anywhere software. This directory is chosen at installation time (usually C:\SQLANY50). The commands

     c:

     cd \sqlany50\dos

will get you there. The sample database, SADEMO.DB, will be located in the parent directory (C:\SQLANY50).

Alternatively, you may want to copy the sample database used in this tutorial into a different working directory. The only file you need to copy is: SADEMO.DB. In this case, you need to have SQL Anywhere in your PATH (this is done for you at installation time).

QNX: copy or link the sample database to a working directory You should copy the sample database to your working directory or create a link to it. For example,      cp /usr/lib/sqlany50/sample/sademo.db . or      ln /usr/lib/sqlany50/sample/sademo.db .
