Starting the server on Windows NT

Note the server starting directory

This section describes methods for starting the database server that are specific to Windows NT systems. You can also use any of the generic methods described elsewhere in this chapter.

Be sure to make note of what directory you are in when you start the server. The location of any database files you create with relative pathnames depends on the server startup directory. If you start the server in a different directory, Adaptive Server IQ looks for those database files in the new startup directory.

Any server startup scripts should change directory to a known location before issuing the server startup command.

Starting the server from the NT Start menu

The easiest way to start the server on NT is from the Start menu.

Click Start on the Task bar, and select Programs → Sybase → Adaptive Server

IQ 12.

From here, you can start the sample database, Sybase Central, Interactive SQL, and the ODBC Administrator.

You can also place databases of your own in the Program group.

Typing the server startup command

You can use a Program Manager icon to hold a command line, or enter the following command at the system command prompt:

asiqsrv12 [ server-switches ] [ path\database-file [ database-switches ]]

You must either enter the database-fileor include the servername as one of the server-switches.

This command starts the specified database:

•On the specified server, if one is named in the startup command

•On the server associated with this database, if the startup parameters specify a data source

•On the local server, if one is running and no other server is specified
