Catalogs and IQ

•The Catalog Store

When you create an IQ database, all three stores are created automatically. You create IQ databases using the procedures described in Chapter 3, “Working with Database Objects”.

The IQ Store

The IQ Store is the set of Adaptive Server IQ tables. You can have one or more permanent IQ Stores, each in a separate database. Each IQ Store includes a set of tables that organize your data. The table data is stored in indexes, which are structured so as to allow rapid response to various types of analytical queries on very large quantities of data.

The Temporary Store

The Temporary Store consists of a set of temporary tables. The database server uses them for sorting and other temporary processing purposes; you cannot store your data in them directly.

The Catalog Store

The Catalog Store contains all of the information required to manage an IQ database. This information, which includes system tables and stored procedures, resides in a set of tables that are compatible with Adaptive Server Anywhere. These tables contain the metadata for the IQ database. Metadata describes the layout of the IQ tables, columns, and indexes. The Catalog Store is sometimes referred to simply as the Catalog.

Adaptive Server Anywhere and Adaptive Server IQ

The Catalog Store closely resembles an Adaptive Server Anywhere store. Adaptive Server Anywhere is a relational database system that can exist with or without IQ. You may have Adaptive Server Anywhere-style tables in your Catalog Store along with your IQ tables, or you may have a separate Adaptive Server Anywhere database.
