Starting Interactive SQL from the Command Line

You can start Interactive SQL from the command line and to connect to a database.

From a console or command line, enter:

dbisql -c "uid=DBA;pwd=sql" -host <host name> -port 2638

The –c parameter specifies connection parameters. For a complete list of connection parameters, see System Administration Guide: Volume 1 > Connection and Communication Parameters.

Note: The default user ID and password for the iqdemo database and other Sybase IQ databases are DBA and sql. If you have trouble connecting to a database, try changing the case of the user ID and password that you supply; the case sensitivity for that database may be set ON.
