Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites for this task.

Task

The executable files and corresponding source code are located in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\SybaseIQ\samples\SQLAnywhere\C directory.

  1. Start the SAP Sybase IQ sample database, iqdemo.db.
  2. Files to build the sample programs are supplied with the sample code.

    To build the 32-bit samples on Windows, use build.bat.

    To build the 64-bit samples on Windows, use build64.bat. You may need to set up the correct environment for compiling and linking. Here is an example that builds the sample programs for an x64 platform.

    set mssdk=c:\MSSDK\v7.0
    build64

    To build the samples on Unix, use the shell script build.sh.

  3. For the 32-bit Windows example, run the file curwin.exe.

    For the 64-bit Windows example, run the file curx64.exe.

    For the Unix example, run the file cur.

  4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

The various commands manipulate a database cursor and print the query results on the screen. Enter the letter of the command that you want to perform. Some systems may require you to press Enter after the letter.
