This tutorial introduces the Sybase Central user interface. It describes how to start Sybase Central, how to start a Sybase IQ server, how to connect to a database, and how to view a database schema in Sybase Central.
After completing the tutorial you should feel comfortable exploring Sybase Central's capabilities by yourself.
Starting Sybase Central on UNIX systems
Source the ASIQ-12_6.csh (or .sh) script. (Always source this file before invoking utilities like Sybase Central or the IQ Agent.)
If you plan to administer multiplex database(s), type:
% $ASDIR/bin/S99SybaseIQAgent1260
Type this command:
% scjview
On UNIX systems, for proper display in Sybase Central
Java or dbisql, run with
the default colors of the Common Desktop Environment. If you run
under Open Windows or change the default colors, you may experience
display problems.

From the Start menu, choose Programs > Sybase > Adaptive Server IQ 12.6 > Sybase Central Java Edition.
