Sybase IQ provides a shortcut to connection information that you can use to:
Connect using IQISQL
Simplify database startup
Simplify connection from Sybase Central
To insert from an Adaptive Server Enterprise database to a Sybase IQ database, each server must have an entry, also called a server object, in the interfaces file. Use IQDSEDIT (Directory Services Editor) to create entries in the interfaces file. You must be the owner of the Sybase home directory (%SYBASE%) or have write permission in order to run IQDSEDIT.
Once you add servers to this file, the Server Name dropdown box is enabled wherever Sybase Central requests connection information. When you tab to the dropdown box, pressing the space bar lists all the entries you created with IQDSEDIT. You can choose a server from the list or just press the first letter of the server name you want to use. Pressing the same letter multiple times cycles through all the values that begin with that letter.
