start_iq [ server-options ] [ database-file [ database-options ], ...]
Sybase recommends that you specify the -n switch to run Sybase IQ effectively. The -n command-line switch is a server switch that names the server. For example start_iq -n myServer @iqdemo.cfg iqdemo.db. Specifying the -n switch prevents you from unintentionally connecting to the wrong server.
You can list the start_iq switches using the command:
start_iq -?
