Creating a Sybase IQ database  Using Interactive SQL to create the database

Chapter 2: Repository Database Setup

Using Sybase Central to create the database

Sybase Central is a graphical management tool for Sybase products and plug-ins. Sybase Central includes a database creation utility you can use to start the server and create the database.

  1. Start Sybase Central.

  2. Click Sybase IQ | Utilities tab | Create Database. A dialog box prompts you for the server options.

  3. Click Next. The next dialog box prompts you for the connection parameters.

  4. Specify an appropriate user account with DBA authority and connection parameters for the server. See the table below for IQ system defaults.

    Parameter

    Value

    Username

    DBA

    Password

    SQL

    Port Number

    2638

    Host machine name

    Machine where IQ is installed and where you want to create the database.

  5. Click Next. A dialog box prompts you for the name and location of the sample IQ files.

  6. Specify an appropriate path and filename for the RAP repository database, for example, <path>\RAPIQ.db

    NoteThe Sybase IQ server and the IQ database must have identical names, if you are using IQ as a target database for Replication Server. This is a requirement of Replication Server.

    For more information, see Appendix B, “Data Replication.”

    This path should exist locally on the given host. If you omit the path, Sybase Central creates the database relative to the directory where you started the server.

  7. Type a path and filename for the IQ Store, which contains the IQ data, for example, <path>\RAPIQ.iq

  8. If your RAP repository database is on an operating system file system, deselect the This is a raw device checkbox, then click Next.

  9. On the next dialog box, enter an IQ Store Size of 2 GB (2000 MB) and accept the defaults for IQ_Page_Size and Database Page Size.

  10. Click Next. A dialog box prompts you for the temporary store path and size.

  11. If your database is on an operating system file system, deselect This is a raw device.
