Although the connection model for Sybase IQ is configurable, and can become complex, in many cases connecting to a database is very simple.
This section describes some simple cases of applications connecting to a Sybase IQ database. When you are getting started, for example, if you are running the iqdemo database on a local server and are not connected to a network, you may only need the instructions in this section. However, in most IQ environments, to ensure that you can connect and disconnect properly, a complete set of connection parameters is essential.
For steps in connecting to a database using Sybase Central, see the Introduction to Sybase IQ. For more detailed information on available connection parameters and their use, see “Connection parameters”.
