start_iq Database Server Startup Utility

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

The UNIX versions of SAP Sybase IQ provide the script start_iq, and the Windows version 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: Sybase Control Center provides an easy graphical interface for starting servers and is the recommended method for starting multiplex servers.
