Hi. I am moving a customer from sqla8 to sqla11.
When I run dbunload, thru SC, I see the following text...

"c:\resq\resqwin\resqprod\db\reload.sql" -ii -sa -so _sc608242113
"c:\resq\resqwin\resqprod\db\unload"
Connecting and initializing
***** SQL error: Unable to start specified database: autostarting database
failed
An error occurred while attempting to unload the database
'C:\resq\resqwin\resqprod\db\resq.db'.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The database was taken from a backup folder.
There are two files: resq.db and resq.log

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Doug

You need to run with the V11 dbunload with the -an swtich;
which I don't see there. The use of -r is a manual style
rebuild and the main indication of not picking the
correct option for this.

V10 and V11 needs to do this rebuild and can do it
for you .... iff you specify

"Unload and reload into a NEW database"

{at step 8 in the link below. Thats the 2nd pick
in the wizard, you seem to have taken the first
one}

from Sybase Central or using dbunload -an
explicitly from the cmdline.
