Many examples and exercises throughout the documentation start by connecting to the demo database from Interactive SQL, also called dbisql.
Connecting to the demo database (Sybase Central)
Start Sybase Central as appropriate for your system.
On UNIX, source the IQ-15_2.csh (or .sh) script before invoking utilities like Sybase Central or the IQ Agent.
In a multiplex environment, if the IQ Agent is not started, type:
%S99SybaseIQAgent15
To start Sybase Central, type:
% scjview
If you have set environment variables as described in
the Installation and Configuration Guide, you can issue the scjview command
from any directory.
On Windows, to start Sybase Central, choose Programs > Sybase > Sybase IQ 15.2 > Sybase Central.
Choose Sybase IQ.
This opens a panel on the right with multiple tabs.
In the Utilities tab, double-click Open Interactive SQL.
On the Identification tab, type DBA and sql for
the User and Password.
On the Database tab, choose Find.
Select your iqdemo server from the Find Servers screen and click OK.
Connecting to the demo database (Interactive SQL)
Select Programs > Sybase > Sybase IQ 15.2 > Interactive SQL.
Follow steps 4 – 6 in the previous procedure.
You can connect to any database server that is already running in the same manner. You can also specify a non-default character set and language.
