I am facing issues to restore the SQL anywhere database provided to me. When I am trying to restore the database I am getting the following error: The database archive could not be restored. Error during backup/Restore: Unable to open the device. Unknown err status reading HDR labels. When I am trying to open it using SQL anywhere I am getting the following error: The database could not be started on the server. Unable to start specified database: the database was created by a different version of the software. I am Using Sybase central 6.0.1 and SQL anywhere 12.0.1. Any help would be appreciated. -- Regards, Abhishek. |

So what version has the database been created with?
From the v12.0.1 docs:
Thanks for the reply. The database has been created with SQL anywhere version 9.0. I am even trying to unload the database(created in version 9.0) using version 12.0 but it is taking loads of time...
As Volker wrote, SA12 won't open a database created with ASA9 or previous versions. So if there's no ASA9 engine available to you, unloading the database to be rebuild into a new SA12 db looks like your only choice. In my experience the fastest way is to unload directly into a new database.
