Sybase IQ optionally saves name parameters in a Connection Profile to simplify future connections to a database. Once you create a Connection Profile, you can specify the profile name and it fills in all the parameter fields for you. For this tutorial, leave Other selected in the Connection Profile box.
For this tutorial, type asiqdemo_ followed
by your machine name for the Server Name.
For the Host Machine (Alt+H), type your host name
or specify localhost.
The Port Number (Alt+P) defaults to 2638, the default Sybase port number. In general, always change the Port Number to one that is not in use.
For the Database Name (Alt+D), type asiqdemo.
The default Username is sufficient; changing the Username from DBA to another user limits functionality.
For the Username (Alt+U), type DBA.
For the Password (Alt+P), type SQL.
