Are you able to connect to your database using the SQL Anywhere 5 isql.exe utility?

Here is a sample command line:

"%SQLANY%\win32\isql.exe" -c "dbn=ddd5;eng=ddd5;uid=dba;pwd=sql"

On my Windows 7 computer, that is equivalent to this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Sybase\SQL Anywhere 5.0\win32\isql.exe" -c "dbn=ddd5;eng=ddd5;uid=dba;pwd=sql"

Then you can use the SELECT and OUTPUT command to create a CSV file. Here is an end-to-end demo with a new table called tt:

CREATE TABLE tt ( x integer, y integer );
insert tt values ( 1, 1 );
insert tt values ( 2, 2 );
commit;
select * from tt;
output to 'c:\temp\tt.txt';

Here is the output file:

1,1
2,2

If your database needs to be started before running isql.exe, here is a sample command for that:

"%SQLANY%\win32\dbeng50.exe" ddd5.db

As an option, you can unload a database from the command line. I used a demo database for my example, replace it with the actual database name.

Start server.

c:\sqlany50\win32\dbsrv50.exe -c 10M -x tcpip c:\sqlany50\sademo.db

Create a directory to unload into.

md c:\data

Unload a database.

c:\sqlany50\win32\dbunload.exe -c "ENG=sademo;DBN=sademo;UID=dba;PWD=sql" c:\data\Unload -r c:\data\Sademo.sql
