Creating and starting the demo database

To use the demo database to test your installation, create iqdemo.db and load the sample data. Scripts that create and load the demo database are located in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\SybaseIQ\demo directory.

To create or start the demo database, use the Start IQ Demo Database option from Sybase IQ 15.2 program group:

The first time you use this option, Sybase IQ may prompt you for some additional information.
