Connect Dialog

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.
