To connect to an UltraLite database from an embedded SQL application, include the EXEC SQL CONNECT statement in your code after initializing the SQLCA.

The CONNECT statement has the following form:

EXEC SQL CONNECT USING
'uid=user-name;pwd=password;dbf=database-filename';

The connection string (enclosed in single quotes) may include additional database connection parameters.

For more information about database connection parameters, see UltraLite connection parameters reference.
