UNIX Client Connections

To run the sample queries on UNIX-like operating systems, start the Sybase Central network client, and connect to the demo database.

Prerequisites
Ask your DBA or system administrator to:
  • Install the Sybase IQ Client Suite on your workstation. Make sure that your environment is set properly.
  • Create and start the demo database. The demo database is installed as part of the Sybase IQ Server Suite. Instructions for starting iqdemo.db appear in the Installation and Configuration Guide.
  • Create an account that allows you to access the demo database. To recreate the sample queries, your account must include the authority to access GROUPO tables.
