CHAPTER 2 Running Adaptive Server IQ

Locating the database
If the interfaces library successfully locate a server, it then tries to locate the
database. For example:
Notes • If you rely on the DBF parameter, the DBF path must either be an absolute
path, or relative to where the server was started, in order for Adaptive
Server IQ to find the database it specifies. For example, if you specify
../foo/asiqdemo, it looks in the directory above where the server is, and
then in foo.
• The default database is the one started with the server.
