Running client and server on the same system

Shared memory is the default communications mechanism when the client and server are on the same system. It is configured automatically, and starts up automatically, on both UNIX and Windows platforms. Sybase IQ uses a shared memory segment and several semaphores for communication between the client and server on the same machine.

NoteLocal connections through shared memory are not supported for Linux 64-bit. Use standard network connectivity by adding the parameters -host <hostname> and -port <portnumber> to the client connection string.

See the Sybase IQ System Administration Guide for more information on using the -host and -port parameters.
