PATH environment variable

Setting

PATH = installation_path

Operating system

Required.

Description

The PATH environment variable is an operating system required variable that includes the directories where Sybase IQ executables are located. On Windows, the installation program modifies PATH. On UNIX, run the environment source file to include the necessary directories. The environment source file adds the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/bin directory to your UNIX path.

On Windows, PATH takes the place of the LIBRARY_PATH variable, so executables and DLLs are located using the PATH variable. Installing Sybase IQ on Windows adds %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS%\bin and %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS%\dll to your Windows path.
