Because Sybase IQ shares many components with SQL Anywhere® Server, a component of the SQL Anywhere package, Sybase IQ supports many of the same features as SQL Anywhere Server. The IQ documentation set refers you to SQL Anywhere documentation, where appropriate.
Documentation for SQL Anywhere includes:
SQL Anywhere Server – Database Administration describes how to run, manage, and configure SQL Anywhere databases. It describes database connections, the database server, database files, backup procedures, security, high availability, and replication with Replication Server®, as well as administration utilities and options.
SQL Anywhere Server – Programming describes how to build and deploy database applications using the C, C++, Java, PHP, Perl, Python, and .NET programming languages such as Visual Basic and Visual C#. This book also describes a variety of programming interfaces such as ADO.NET and ODBC.
SQL Anywhere Server – SQL Reference provides reference information for system procedures, and the catalog (system tables and views). It also provides an explanation of the SQL Anywhere implementation of the SQL language (search conditions, syntax, data types, and functions).
SQL Anywhere Server – SQL Usage describes how to design and create databases; how to import, export, and modify data; how to retrieve data; and how to build stored procedures and triggers.
You can also refer to the SQL Anywhere documentation in the SQL Anywhere 11.0.1 collection at Product Manuals and in DocCommentXchange.
Sybase IQ includes scripts to create a demo database (iqdemo.db). Many of the queries and code samples in this document use the demo database as a data source.
The demo database contains internal information about a small company (employees, departments, and financial data), as well as product (products), and sales information (sales orders, customers, and contacts).
See the Sybase IQ installation guide for your platform or talk to your system administrator for more information about the demo database.
Each Sybase installation that has purchased a support contract has one or more designated people who are authorized to contact Sybase Technical Support. If you cannot resolve a problem using the manuals or online help, please have the designated person contact Sybase Technical Support or the Sybase subsidiary in your area.
