Demo database

Sybase IQ includes scripts to create a demo database. In the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\SybaseIQ\demo directory, you will see the script mkiqdemo.bat. This script creates the demo database by modifying, then running the script mkiqdemo.sql, which will load in data from the sub-directory \adata.

The sample data supports an imaginary sporting goods company. The sample database has been updated for the 15.1 release. If you are upgrading from a previous edition, see “Table names” for demo database table names.

This table includes the former names and new names of sample tables so that you can update scripts or applications.

StepsStarting the demo database

Use these instructions to start the demo database installed with the product.

  1. Click Start, point to Programs | Sybase | Sybase IQ 15.1 | Start Sybase IQ Demo Database. This step also creates iqdemo if it does not exist.

NoteFor customers who are use to the older asiqdemo database, you can still create that database by passing in the flag -old to the mkiqdemo.bat script.
