This section describes how to start a database server running the demo database. See Chapter 2, “Running Sybase IQ” in System Administration Guide: Volume 1 for more information.
If your system has multiple users or is one of several machines in a subnet, edit the file $IQDIR15/demo/iqdemo.cfg to specify a unique port and server name. Change the arguments to the -n servername switch and -x tcpip{port=####} to specify a server name and port number that are not in use. If SQL Anywhere is installed on your system, do not use port number 2638.
Starting a server running the demo database from Windows
Log in to the host machine.
Click Start, point to Programs, choose Sybase | Sybase IQ 15.2 | Start Sybase IQ Demo Database.
When you start a server successfully, the server icon appears in
the system tray. The server name is your system name followed by
an underscore and iqdemo
.
Starting a server running the demo database from the command line (UNIX or Windows)
Log in to the host machine.
Change to a directory where you have write permission and make a copy of the $IQDIR15/demo directory there (%IQDIR15%\demo on Windows).
At the command prompt, type the following command:
start_iq @iqdemo.cfg iqdemo.db
This starts a server running the demo database.
Starting a server running the demo database with Sybase Central
The following steps assume that you have started Sybase Central and are running the Sybase IQ plug-in.
Click Tools, point to Sybase IQ 15.2, choose Start Server.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
See Start Server Wizard in Sybase IQ 15.2 online help for specific connection parameters.
