This section describes methods for starting the database server that are specific to Windows systems. You can also use any of the generic methods described elsewhere in this chapter.
For any database created with a relative pathname, you must start the database server from the directory where the database is located.
Be sure to make note of what directory you are in when you start the server. The location of any new database files you create with relative pathnames depends on the server startup directory. If you start the server in a different directory, Sybase IQ looks for those database files in the new startup directory.
Any server startup scripts should change directory to a known location before issuing the server startup command.
The easiest way to start the server on Windows is from the Start menu.
Starting the server from the Start menu
Change to a writable directory.
If your database was created with a relative pathname, you must change to the directory that contains the database.
Select Programs > Sybase > Adaptive Server IQ 12.6 from the Programs menu.
From here, you can start the Sybase IQ Demo database, Sybase Central, Interactive SQL Classic, and Interactive SQL Java.
You can also place databases of your own in the Program group.
