Starting the asiqdemo database

You can start the server and the asiqdemo database easily, using the configuration file that Sybase IQ provides. This configuration file, called asiqdemo.cfg, contains all the parameters necessary to start the sample database.

  1. From a command line, type the following command:

    % cd $ASDIR/demo
    % start_asiq @asiqdemo.cfg asiqdemo.db
    

These commands use the configuration file asiqdemo.cfg that is created automatically at installation. You can edit this file to change the parameters you use to start the sample database. For example, the server name in this file is hostname_asiqdemo. You can rename the server to a unique name of your choice, like janed_server.
