Quick Start Tutorial

The SAP® Sybase® IQ Quick Start shows you how to deploy a single server, convert the server to multiplex, and run a query that distributes processing across all nodes in the multiplex.

Tasks in this guide are sequential and progressive. Complete the tasks in one sequence before you progress to the next. The time required to complete all tasks is about 20 minutes.

1. Create a Single Server
   The first set of tasks describes how to deploy the demo database in a single-server environment.
2. Convert the Server to Multiplex
   Convert the demo database to multiplex.
3. Distribute the Workload
   In a multiplex environment, the query optimizer breaks complex queries into fragments and distributes the fragments to different nodes for processing.
