The utility database never holds data, but is created automatically for performing certain administrative tasks.
The database server uses the utility database when it needs a database to connect to, but either no real database exists, or none should be running. Sybase IQ installation creates the utility database automatically.
Start the database server using the START ENGINE command with no database specified
Create or drop a database when you have no other database to connect to
Start the database server or connect to a database when any other databases you have are unavailable, for example, due to media failure
Restore a database
By default, the utility database has the user ID dba and the password sql. You can change these to other values during installation, or later by editing the connection parameters in the util_db.ini file in your executable directory.
