Starting the Utility Database

You must start the utility database before creating new databases if no databases are built yet.

You can start the utility database in any of these ways:

  1. Start the database server without a database by specifying only -nĀ enginename on the startup command.
  2. Start dbisql from the command line, setting the Database Name to utility_db in the connection string, as in:
    dbisqlc -c "uid=dba;pwd=sql;eng=myserver;dbn=utility_db;...

    (You must not specify it as the Database File, because utility_db has no database file.)

  3. In Sybase Central, in the Create Database wizard, choose Use the IQ Agent on a Remote Host to Start a Utility Server.
