Testing Installed Products

This section tells you how to start SAP Sybase IQ and use the demo database to test your installation.

• Demo Database
  Many of the examples throughout the documentation use the demo database (iqdemo.db) as a data source. The demo database is installed as part of the SAP Sybase IQ Server Suite and resides on the server. Client access is provided by tools installed as part of the SAP Sybase IQ Client Suite.
• Running SAP Sybase IQ Server
  Use the startup utility, start_iq, to start your server. start_iq is a command line utility that runs on all platforms and ensures that all required parameters are set correctly.
• Stopping Servers
  Different ways to stop a server.
• Starting and Stopping the Sybase Control Center Agent
  (Optional) Launch or shut down the Sybase Control Center agent included with your Sybase IQ server.
• Running Interactive SQL
  Interactive SQL is a utility that ships with SAP Sybase IQ that lets you execute SQL statements, build scripts, and display database data. Use Interactive SQL to connect to the server and run a sample query.
• Post-Installation Tasks
  Perform these tasks after you install and test SAP Sybase IQ.
