Message logging

An IQ message log file exists for each database. The default name of this file is dbname.iqmsg. The IQ message log file is created when the database is started for the first time after the database is created. The default location of the message log file is the same directory as the catalog store, although the database creator may specify another location, in addition to specifying a different file name.

By default, Sybase IQ logs the following types of messages in the message log file:

You can examine this file as you would any other text file.
