connect

Syntax

connect[connection_string |[[DSN][as]connid  [adding] [connection_string | DSN][as connid]

Description

Connects to the database with the specified ODBC connection_string.

If no password is supplied in this format, ttIsql prompts for the password.

If no user is given, ttIsql attempts to connect using the user name of the current user as indicated by the operating system.

If as connid is specified, you can explicitly name the connection. The connid must be only alphanumeric characters, is case sensitive, must start with an alpha character and can only be a maximum of 30 characters in length. The name of connid is automatically supplied to the ConnectionName general connection attribute. If the connect fails, the current connection is set to a special reserved connection named "none," which is never connected to anything.

When adding is specified, it refers to creating a new connection to the DSN specified by DSN or by the connection string.
