Chapter 4: Migrating Data

About this chapter

This chapter explains how to migrate data from one Sybase IQ version to the next, from 32-bit to 64-bit systems, and across hardware platforms.

NoteFor information about migrating data between Sybase IQ and other databases, see the ETL User’s Guide for Sybase IQ (DC00608-01-0421-01). This manual is on the Getting Started Sybase IQ 12.7 Extended Enterprise Edition CD.

If you have a Sybase IQ version prior to 12.5, you must first upgrade to version 12.5. Refer to the 12.5 Sybase IQ Installation and Configuration Guide.

NoteBefore you install Sybase IQ 12.7, you must upgrade LONG BINARY columns. For instructions, see the appendix, “Upgrading existing LONG BINARY columns” in the manual Large Objects Management in Sybase IQ.
