start_iq Database Server Startup Utility

The database startup utility start_iq starts a Sybase IQ network database server.

The UNIX versions of Sybase IQ provide the script start_iq, and the Windows version of IQ provides start_iq.exe. These scripts verify that your environment is set correctly and start the server with all required switches preset to recommended defaults (along with any switches you add). The start_iq utility also includes some parameters and calculates others. For switches that are specific to your operating system, see the Installation and Configuration Guide.

Note: The Start Database Server utility in Sybase Central provides an easy graphical interface for starting servers and is the recommended method for starting IQ multiplex servers. See System Administration Guide: Volume 1 > Sybase IQ Startup > Ways to Start Database Servers.
