Message logging
A message log file exists for each database. The default name of this file is
dbname.iqmsg. The message log file is created when the database is created.
By default, Adaptive Server IQ logs all messages in the message log file,
including:
• Error messages
• Status messages
• Insert notification messages
You can examine this file as you would any other text file. At the start of the
