Connect to a running database from the Start menu or command prompt.
dbisql
You can include the -c parameter to specify connection parameters in the dbisql command. If you omit these parameters, the Interactive SQL connect dialog appears.
For example, for the iqdemo database, enter DBA and sql, the default user and password combination for SAP Sybase IQ databases when they are created.
For remote servers, specify the server as host name and port number on the Network tab.
The default port number is 2638, but if the server was started with a different number, use that instead. You can find the port number by running Sybase IQ 16.0 > ODBC Administrator 32-bit or Sybase IQ 16.0 > ODBC Administrator 64-bit. Select the User Data Sources on the User DSN tab, then click Configure. Enter dblocate at the command prompt.
This procedure connects you to the first database started on this server. If more than one database is running, you may need to click Browse to select the database you want.
-host fiona -port 1870
If you connect using Interactive SQL Classic, you see Connected to database in the Statistics window, along with a message that shows the collation used by the database.
