The Connect dialog allows you to establish a connection to a database instance and provides a graphical user interface for the Interpreter's CONNECT command.
Username |
Type your database user-id. You can type your whole connect string in this text box, but your password will be echoed. |
Password |
Type your database password. There is no echo in this field to protect password security. |
Database |
Type the database connect string for the database you wish to connect to. This is generally in the form: |
network_protocol:network_node:database_name | |
Note that each field is separated by a colon (:). See your database administrator for the correct connect string for your database. | |
Connect |
Confirms the information you have supplied and attempts a connection. If the database connection is successful, the dialog closes. If the database connection is not successful, an error is issued. |
Cancel |
Cancels the current operation and closes the dialog. |
