INF: Passing SQL Command-Line Parameters with LANMAN.INI

Last reviewed: April 25, 1997
Article ID: Q72632

The information in this article applies to:

  - Microsoft SQL Server version 4.2 for OS/2

It is possible to pass command-line switches to SQLSERVR.EXE via LANMAN.INI. For example, to specify the -m and -r (4.20 and later) switches, add -m -r after the "executable=" entry in the [sqlserver] section.

This section of the LANMAN.INI file will then look as follows:

   [sqlserver]
   database = C:\SQL\master.dat
   errorlog = C:\SQL\log\errorlog
   executable = C:\SQL\binp\sqlservr.exe
   -r
   -m
