OK, now I can connect to the employee DB as SYSDBA with password masterkey using IBQ.

(1) However, when I try to create a new DB using ISQL, it tells me that the user (SYSDBA) is not defined and that I should contact my SYS MGR. Something is wrong. Any ideas?

(2) After typing in these commands repeatedly and unsuccessfully, how can I run SQL scripts through ISQL?
IBQ seems to be able to run scripts, but only if you are already connected to a DB. I want to create one.
Can someone please point me to the documentation on this?

Thanks,
John
