I don't think it will.

I've not tried this with Unix but for MSDOS you must specify the database as a separate variable. The syntax is something like

  EXEC SQL connect :userid identified by :password using :connect_string

where my connect_string is t:scosysv:dev . I don't have have the manual so you'll need to check that I've got the syntax right.

Hope this helps
