For Sybase IQ it is sometimes handy to reverse engineer the statements that were used to create the various IQ dbspaces. You can do this with Power Designer but not everybody has access to the tool.
Below you will find a script that does a basic attempt to reverse engineer the statements for the “create database” and “create dbspace” commands. The script is not complete with regard to all the possible options for these statements. Feel free to make adjustments or mail the author when you miss something.
NB: Written specifically for IQ 15 !
