default.cfg

$IQDIR15/scripts (UNIX), %IQDIR15%\scripts (Windows)

Generic configuration file. This file is used for default options for start_iq and multiplex startup. Sybase IQ copies default.cfginto each new database directory and renames it params.cfg. Changes to default.cfg (in the scripts directory) are inherited by all databases that are created after the file is changed.

params.cfg

Database directory

Configuration file created if the database was created by Sybase Central for user-created databases. Changes to this file affect only the server that uses this particular file.

iqdemo.cfg

$IQDIR15/data/demo (UNIX), %IQDIR15%\data\demo (Windows)

Starts the demo database, sets startup switches to the recommended defaults.
