A common Connect dialog is available in both Sybase Central and Interactive SQL to let you connect to a database.
When you start Sybase Central, you need to manually display this dialog. When you start Interactive SQL, the dialog automatically appears; you can also make it appear for a new connection by choosing File > New Window.
Opening the Connect dialog (Sybase Central)
In Sybase Central, choose Tools > Connect.
If you have more than one Sybase Central plug-in installed, choose Sybase IQ from the list.
You can also click the Connect button on the main toolbar or press F11 to open the Connect dialog.
Tip
You can make subsequent connections to a given database easier
and faster using a connection profile.
Opening the Connect dialog (Interactive SQL)
In Interactive SQL, choose File > New Window or SQL > Connect
Alternatively, you can press F11 to open the Connect dialog.
Once the Connect dialog appears, you must specify the connection parameters you need to connect. For example, you connect to the Sybase IQ sample database by specifying Database file: asiqdemo.db (in $ASDIR/demo or %ASDIR%\demo) using the Browse button on the Database tab, and typing User ID DBA and Password SQL on the Identification tab and clicking OK.
If the server is remote, make sure that the box “Search network for database servers,” on the Database tab is checked.
When you connect to a user-created database, you must
fill out both the Database File and Database Name fields. Supply
the entire pathname in the Database Name field.
If you have more than one Sybase Central plug-in installed, choose Sybase IQ from the list.
