Sybase IQ uses a temporary file to store information while running. This file is stored in the directory pointed to by the TMP or TEMP environment variable, or the ASTMP environment variable on UNIX. On Windows, this directory is typically c:\temp. On UNIX, if more than one database server is running on the same machine, each user needs a separate temporary directory; typically this directory is set to /tmp/.userid.
If you do not have sufficient disk space available to the temporary directory, you will have problems starting the server.
