Different ways to start a server.
Several methods start the database server.

Server startup utility |
Enter a start_iq command on the command line. Syntax: start_iq [ options ] If you enter several command line options, you must enter them all on one line (without carriage returns). For ease of use, specify the database name when you start the server. This starts the database and server together. Omit the database name to start the server without starting a database. If you omit the database name, you must name the server explicitly using the -n server switch. Use this method when you create or restore a database, or when you only want to control starting and stopping the server, leaving database use to client software. |
| Configuration file |

| ODBC datasource | Include a server start line in the datasource. |
| Utility command | Include a server start line in a utility command. |
| Interactive SQL | Issue a SQL command from Interactive SQL to start an additional server. |
