You should supply DatabaseSwitches only if you are connecting to a
database that is not currently running. When the server starts the database
specified by DatabaseFile, the server uses the supplied DatabaseSwitches
as command line options to determine startup options for the database.
Only database switches can be supplied using this parameter. Server
switches must be supplied using the START connection parameter.

The following command, entered all on one line at the command
prompt, connects to the default database server, loads the database file
asademo.db (DBF parameter), names it as my_db (DBS parameter) and
connects to the database of that name (DBN parameter).
dbcollat -c
"uid=dba;pwd=sql;dbf=asademo.db;dbn=my_db;dbs=-n
my_db" e:\temp\temp.col

It is common practice for ODBC applications to send only a data source
name to ODBC. The ODBC driver manager and ODBC driver locate the data
source, which contains the remainder of the connection parameters.
In Adaptive Server Anywhere, Embedded SQL applications can also use
ODBC data sources to store connection parameters.

The following parameter uses a data source name:
