When installing patches, log in as the “root” (superuser) and follow the
directions provided with the patch. All tasks for adjusting the operating system
configuration must be performed as “root”.

Failure to install the appropriate patches before starting Adaptive Server IQ
requires reinstalling Adaptive Server IQ.

2. Restrictions

Read this section! Your system may produce unexpected results if you ignore
the restrictions and other instructions listed below.

If you are upgrading from version 11.x to 12.4.0, see chapter 3 of the Adaptive
Server IQ Installation and Feature Guide
for further restrictions.

Converting 12.0.x
databases to 12.4.0

Before you can use a database created with earlier versions of Adaptive Server
IQ, you must run the script upgrasiq.sql, located in the $ASDIR/scripts
directory. For example, to update a database named old.db:

% dbisql -c "uid=dba;pwd=sql;dbn=old;eng=servername"

$ASDIR/scripts/upgrasiq.sql

If you do not run this script, errors like the following may occur when you use
certain front end tools with the ODBC driver to import or link to a table:

The operation failed. There are too many indexes

on table ’amadbdbo_midtown’.

Delete some of the indexes on the table

and try the operation again.
