•
The Catalog Store is in company.db, in the directory where the server was
started (in this case, /disk1/company)

•
The Temporary Store is in /disk1/company/iqdata/company.iqtmp
•
The IQ message log file is in /disk1/company/iqdata/company.iqmsg

absolute minimum for a new database.
•
128 KB (
IQ PAGE SIZE 131072
more than 1 billion rows and fewer than 4billion rows.
•
256 KB (
IQ PAGE SIZE 262144
more than 4 billion rows.
Multiuser environments, and systems with memory constraints, both benefit
from an IQ page size of at least 64KB, as this size minimizes paging.
