This section tells you how to start Sybase IQ and
use the demo database to test your installation.
Demo Database
Many of the examples throughout the documentation use the Sybase IQ demo database, (iqdemo.db), as a data source. The demo database is installed as part of the Sybase IQ Server Suite and resides on the server. Client access is provided by tools installed as part of the Sybase IQ Client Suite.
Running Sybase IQ Server
Use the startup utility, start_iq, to start your server. start_iq is a command line utility that runs on all platforms and ensures that all required parameters are set correctly.
Stopping Servers
You may need to stop and restart a server to install a new version of Sybase IQ, change server server-wide database options, or close an operating system session.
Running Interactive SQL
Interactive SQL is a utility that ships with Sybase IQ that lets you execute SQL statements, build scripts, and display database data.
Post-Installation Tasks
Sybase recommends that you perform these tasks after you install and test Sybase IQ.
