2.5.3 Test Connections

A test connection is opened and then closed. This test connection does not affect the current SQLcl connection. The credentials stored with the connection are used for the test. If no password is stored, the user is prompted for the password. If the -user option is used, the provided user is tested instead. A password will need to be provided when prompted.

Syntax

connmgr|cm test {OPTIONS} {PARAMETERS}

Options

Option Description
-user, -u Specify a user name instead of using the one stored with the connection definition. Case-sensitive user names are quoted to preserve case.

Parameters

Parameter Description
<name> The name of the connection. Connection names are case-sensitive.

Example

To test the connection MyConnection for user name SCOTT:

SQL> CONNMGR TEST MyConnection
SQL> CONNMGR TEST -USER SCOTT MyConnection
