Setting the Environment Variables

Sybase IQ environment variables point to different directories and file locations. Normally, the installer automatically sets many of these variables, but if you work in a new terminal or console, you must manually set these variables.

1. Open a console or terminal.
2. Set the $SYBASE variable to the parent installation directory.

   Shell	Command
   tcsh or C (csh)	setenv SYBASE <directory name>
   Korn (ksh), Bash, or Bourne (sh)	SYBASE=<directory name>; export SYBASE

3. Set the $IQDIR15 variable to the Sybase IQ product directory.

   Shell	Command
   tcsh or C (csh)	source $SYBASE/IQ-15_4/IQ-15_4.csh
   Korn (ksh), Bash, or Bourne (sh)	$SYBASE/IQ-15_4/IQ-15_4.sh
