Migrating data from databases from earlier versions

If you have a Sybase IQ database created with an earlier version, you can easily upgrade it to the current version from Sybase Central.

StepsUpgrading the database

In order to upgrade a database using Sybase Central, you must be connected to the database.

  1. Start Sybase Central and connect to the database that you wish to upgrade.

  2. Right-click the database container.

  3. Choose Upgrade Database from the submenu.

  4. Highlight the database you want to upgrade and click Next.

  5. If jConnect meta-information support was not installed, and you want to install it, check the option. Sybase highly recommends installing jConnect support.

  6. Choose an option to install or remove Java support, and click Finish.
