This section describes how to install the Sybase IQ Server Components. To install components required for connection to a network server, see Chapter 2, “Installing Sybase IQ Network Client.”
Enclosed is Sybase® IQ 12.6 is certified with the following platform and operating system configurations:
Microsoft Windows 2000
Microsoft Windows 2003
Windows XP Professional
See the Sybase IQ Release Bulletin for system requirements and required service packs.
If you have a previous 12.x version of Sybase IQ, you need to upgrade your databases as part of installation. See “Upgrading servers and databases to 12.6” for important steps you must complete before installing.
To install Sybase IQ, you run the setup.exe program. This program, along with other installation files, is on the product CD you receive from Sybase.
The program installs:
Sybase IQ 12.6
Sybase Central Java Edition viewer 4.3 (the graphical administration tool) and the latest plug-in for Sybase IQ. For details about using Sybase Central, see its online help or Introduction to Sybase IQ.
Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) version 12.5.1.
The Sybase jConnect JDBC Driver, version 5.5. The installation includes a recent EBF. If you install the jConnect driver, Java classes installed into a database can make JDBC calls to access and modify data. You need TCP/IP to use the jConnect driver.
The Sybase jConnect JDBC Driver version 6.0 is optionally available, but Sybase IQ requires jConnect 5.5 in order to work with Sybase Central and other java components. If you install jConnect 6.0 without installing 5.5, Sybase IQ functionality will be incomplete.
Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2.
ODBC drivers and utilities.
C/C++ development libraries and source files.
