Once a database server is running, you can connect to the server from Interactive SQL Classic (dbisql). This example describes how to connect to the demo database iqdemo.
Starting Interactive SQL
Classic from the command prompt
Ensure that the sample database is loaded on a running server, as described in “Starting the database server” in Chapter 3, “Running and Connecting to Servers” in the Introduction to Sybase IQ.
At the command prompt on your UNIX or Windows system, enter:
dbisqlc -c "uid=dba;pwd=sql"
The -c parameter specifies connection parameters. See Chapter 4, “Connection and Communication Parameters” in the System Administration Guide: Volume 1.
The default user ID and password for the iqdemo database
and other IQ databases are “dba” and “sql.” If
you have trouble connecting to a database, try changing the case
of the user ID and password that you supply.
