Opening the Connect dialog (Interactive SQL)

A Connect dialog in Interactive SQL lets you connect to a database.

In Interactive SQL, choose File > New Window or SQL > Connect

Alternatively, you can press F11 to open the Connect dialog.

Once the Connect dialog appears, you must specify the connection parameters you need to connect. For example, connect to the SAP Sybase IQ demo database by specifying iqdemo.db as the database file, using the Browse button on the Database tab, and typing User ID DBA and Password sql on the Identification tab and clicking OK.

If the server is remote, make sure to select “Search network for database servers,” on the Database tab.

Note: When you connect to a user-created database, you must complete both the Database File and Database Name fields. Supply the entire path name.
