If Sybase IQ is very busy handling already connected users, it may be slow to respond to new connection requests. In extreme cases (such as test scripts that fire off hundreds of connections in a loop while the server is busy with inserts) new connections may have to wait up to a minute before becoming active or may even time out their connection request. In this situation, the server may appear to be down when it is merely very busy. A user getting this behavior should try to connect again.
