Commands
CASE Expression
0.
A conditional expression that can be used in IQ DELETE, IQ INSERT, or SELECT statements. The CASE expression allows you to determine one of many results based on a search condition or specic value you specify. Syntax
CASE WHEN logical-expression THEN result [WHEN logical-expression THEN result]... [ELSE result] END CASE expression WHEN expression THEN result [WHEN expression THEN result]... [ELSE result] END NULLIF(expression, expression) COALESCE(expression, expression [, expression]...)
FROM Clause
Indicates the indexsets from which you want to get data. The FROM clause is always required in a SELECT statement or query expression. Syntax
FROM [[[indexspace].][owner].]indexset_name [[AS] correlation_name] [, [[[indexspace].][owner].]indexset_name [AS] correlation_name]...
GROUP BY Clause
Sorts the output of a SELECT statement WHERE or FROM clause into groups whose rows have the same value for the specied column, and returns a single row of information for each group.
HAVING Clause
You can group a indexset by a single column or by a list of columns. If aggregate functions are included in the select list, GROUP BY also nds a summary value(s) for each group. These summary values appear as new columns in the results. Syntax
[GROUP BY [[indexspace].][[owner].][indexset_name.] column_name [, [[indexspace].][[owner].][indexset_name.] column_name]...
HAVING Clause
Restricts the groups you retrieve in the GROUP BY clause based on the specied search condition. Syntax
[HAVING search_condition]
IQ ADD SEGMENT
Creates additional segments across multiple operating system les or partitions for either an existing Sybase IQ indexspace or the transaction image data to add more free space and allow for multivolume support. Syntax
IQ ADD SEGMENT FOR indexspace_name, PATHNAME = "path_name" [, {INDEXSPACE | TRANSACTIONIMAGE [, {PREALLOCATE | AUTOALLOCATE}]}] [, {RAW | FILE [, SIZE = #_of_blocks]}]
IQ ALTER INDEXSET
Adds columns to or drops a column from an existing indexset. The changes are propagated to all joined indexsets that include that indexset.
Commands
IQ BACKUP
Syntax
IQ ALTER INDEXSET FOR [[[indexspace].][owner].]indexset_name {ADD column_name datatype [{NULL | NOT NULL}] [, column_name datatype [{NULL | NOT NULL}]]... | DROP column_name}
IQ BACKUP
Backs up a Sybase IQ indexspace on either raw partitions (UNIX only) or operating system les. You must be either the Database Owner or have 'sa' role to back up an indexspace. You must run IQ BACKUP interactively from the command line. You cannot run it in a batch script, because it requires you to mount the archive media when prompted. Each backup requires at least three different archive media: one (or more) for the indexspace les (segments and Free List les), one for the Backup Server archive (the catalog tables), and one for the IQ MASTER archive (header les that describe the indexspace backed up). IQ BACKUP prompts you to mount the indexspace archive(s) rst, then the Backup Server archive, and nally, the IQ MASTER archive. For information about supported archive media for your platform, see Sybase IQ Administration Guide. Syntax
IQ BACKUP INDEXSPACE indexspace_name [NOOVERWRITE] [CRC] [BLOCKINGFACTOR = blockfactor_#] TO archive_device [CAPACITY = #_of_KB] [TO archive_device [CAPACITY = #_of_KB]]... [COMMENT = string]
IQ CLOSE INDEXSPACE
Closes, or exits, from the indexspace you are using without exiting Sybase IQ. Syntax
IQ CLOSE INDEXSPACE
IQ CREATE INDEX
IQ CREATE INDEX
Adds an index to a column in an indexset of the given index type. Syntax
IQ CREATE [UNIQUE] INDEX [[[indexspace].][owner].]index_name ON [[[indexspace].][owner].]indexset_name (column_name) index_type [[WITH] [insert_load_option] [, insert_load_option]...] [CREATE [UNIQUE] INDEX [[[indexspace].][owner].]index_name ON [[[indexspace].][owner].]indexset_name (column_name) index_type [[WITH] [insert_load_option] [, insert_load_option]...]]...
IQ CREATE INDEXSET
Creates a Sybase IQ indexset and denes all the columns that are part of that indexset. This indexset must have an underlying database table of the same name. The Sybase IQ indexset can have fewer columns than the underlying table, but it cannot have any columns that are unknown to the underlying table. When you create a Sybase IQ indexset, Sybase IQ automatically creates an IQ_ROWID column in the indexset to be used for record number reference. Syntax
IQ CREATE INDEXSET FOR [[[indexspace].][owner].]indexset_name (column_name datatype [{NULL | NOT NULL}] [, column_name datatype [{NULL | NOT NULL}]]...)
IQ CREATE INDEXSPACE
Creates a new Sybase IQ indexspace, which contains the data denitions and data for Sybase IQ indexes. An underlying database
Commands
IQ CREATE INDEXSPACE TEMPLATE
of the same name must already exist for this command for it to be executed successfully. There are two classes of indexspace: Main indexspace Private indexspace (personal read/write indexspace) The IQ CREATE INDEXSPACE command creates a preallocated indexspace that can be used as a main or private indexspace. Syntax
IQ CREATE INDEXSPACE FOR indexspace_name, PATHNAME="path_name" [, {RAW [, SIZE=#_of_blocks] | [FILE,] SIZE=#_of_blocks}] [, BLOCKSIZE = power_of_2_from_512_to_32K] [, MAXCOMPRESSION = power_of_2_from_2_to_16] [, FLPATHNAME = "path_name"] [, LOGPATHNAME = "path_name"] {[, TIPATHNAME = "path_name" [, TIRAW]] | [, TIPATHNAME = path_name] [, TIFILE] [, {TIAUTOALLOCATE | TIPREALLOCATE}] [, TISIZE = #]} [, SHMEMMB = #_of_MB_in_main_buffer_cache] [, TEMPSHMEMMB = #_of_MB_in_private_buffer_cache]
IQ CREATE INDEXSPACE TEMPLATE

Builds a script that can be used to create a new Sybase IQ indexspace which contains the indexsets, column indexes, and data denitions for Sybase IQ indexes, based on an underlying database of the same name. This script builds an indexspace to match the underlying database. This script can be modied and used as input to the Sybase IQ command line. Syntax
IQ CREATE INDEXSPACE TEMPLATE [FOR [[[database].][owner].]table_name], PATHNAME=filename [, APPEND]
IQ CREATE JOINED INDEXSET
IQ CREATE JOINED INDEXSET

Creates a Sybase IQ joined indexset, a group of indexsets that are prejoined, to improve performance on queries against multiple indexsets in the same indexspace. Syntax
IQ CREATE JOINED INDEXSET [[[indexspace].][owner].]joined_indexset_name FOR [[[indexspace].][owner].]indexset_name (join_field [, join_field]...]) = [[[indexspace].][owner].]indexset_name(join_field [, join_field]...]) join_relationship [, [[[indexspace].][owner].]indexset_name (join_field [, join_field]...]) = [[[indexspace].][owner].]indexset_name(join_field [, join_field]...]) join_relationship ...

IQ INSERT INTO
IQ INSERT INTO
Inserts new data into Sybase IQ indexset columns. When you insert data into a column in a Sybase IQ indexset, Sybase IQ inserts data into all the column indexes that exist for that column of the indexset. You can insert data from four sources: Direct input, indicating specic values row by row Other Sybase IQ indexed data in the main indexspace or associated preallocated private indexspaces A table in an underlying database One or more at les For large volume loads, the last two sources are recommended. Syntax
IQ INSERT INTO INDEXSET FOR [[[indexspace].][owner].]indexset_name ({column_name [insert_conversion_option [, insert_conversion_option]...] | FILLER(field_descriptor)} [, {column_name [insert_conversion_option [, insert_conversion_option]...] | FILLER(field_descriptor)}]...)

Inserts data into a Sybase IQ joined indexset. You insert data into a joined indexset for all the indexsets in the join relationship. With the IQ INSERT INTO JOINED INDEXSET command, you can insert data into a joined indexset from three sources: Other Sybase IQ indexed data in the main indexspace or associated preallocated private indexspaces A table in an underlying database One or more at les Use a separate IQ INSERT INTO JOINED INDEXSET statement for each indexset, except for the indexset at the top of the join hierarchy, which automatically uses the data from its indexset column indexes. (Sybase IQ tells you which is the top indexset in the join hierarchy when you create the joined indexset; see the discussion later in this command and in the IQ CREATE JOINED INDEXSET command for more information.)

IQ PASS
IQ PASS
Sybase IQ ignores the string that follows the PASS keyword and passes it through to SQL Server for processing. Syntax
IQ PASS rest_of_line
IQ RESTORE
Restores a Sybase IQ indexspace and associated catalog information (full restore) or the indexspace only (partial restore). You can also use this command to display the header information for the indexspace without performing any restore operation. You must be either the Database Owner or have 'sa' role to use this statement. Each backup set includes at least three different archive media (tapes, for example): One or more for indexspace les (segments and Free List les) One or more for the Backup Server archive (the catalog tables) One for the IQ MASTER archive (header les that describe the indexspace backed up) A full restore prompts you to mount the IQ MASTER archive rst, then the Backup Server archive, followed by archive(s) containing indexspace data in any order. A partial restore prompts you to mount the IQ MASTER archive rst, then the archive(s) containing indexspace data in any order. Syntax
