The procedures in this section describe how to migrate your database from a 32-bit to a 64-bit hardware platform.
The procedures assume your database is already upgraded to Sybase IQ 12.6.
Migrating databases to a 64-bit machine
Back up the database.
If you created your Sybase IQ database on a Linux 32-bit
version prior to Sybase IQ 12.6 ESD2, you must first install IQ
12.6 ESD2 for Linux 32-bit and create a new data backup before migrating
to the Linux 64-bit version.
Shut down the server.
Install the Sybase IQ 64-bit software and any required ESDs.
If the current version of Sybase IQ is higher than the version on which you were previously running, start Interactive SQL and issue the database upgrade statement:
ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE
If the database was created with the Java options off, append the keywords JAVA OFF JCONNECT OFF to the preceding command.
Start the server.
Sybase recommends that you perform regular backups.
