q/kdb+ windows server setup

kdb

Solution

Might be a silly question but have you set up a KDB+ process yet?

- Download the free version from http://kx.com/software-download.php

- Explode to `C:\q`, set up `QHOME` environment var to point to this location

- From dos run `C:\q\w32\q.exe -p 5000` (you now have a database running on localhost:5000)

Then try qStudio again. Should connect fine.

Problem

I'm trying to setup qStudio in windows. While adding a new server, an error message pops up, saying: Connection does not work.java.io.IOException: java.sql.SQLException: Connection refused: connect. Used default "Server Properties" configuration: Host: localhost Port: 5000 Server Type: KDB Username: Password: Very new to Q/KDB+.. Searched in google, but didn't find the answer. please help! Thank you!
