RESTORE lets you restore database files for Sybase IQ 15.0 and later. Due to changes in the format of the database, you cannot restore from a backup created on a 12.x version.
To move your data from a Sybase IQ 12.x database to Sybase IQ:
Upgrade to 12.6 ESD #11or later using the migration procedure described in the version 12.6 Installation and Configuration Guide.
Follow the migration procedure described in the 15.2 Installation and Configuration Guide.
RESTORE does not let you restore an Sybase IQ backup to an SQL Anywhere database.
