| + | ====== OdxSQL Connect Environment ====== | ||
| + | ===== Description ===== | ||
| + | CONNECT establishes a connection to an Omnidex Environment and opens a cursor. | ||
| - | Example | + | CONNECT is followed by either an Omnidex Environment filespec or a File DSN for ODBC, JDBC or CLOA connections. |
| - | In OdxSQL, CONNECT establishes a connection to an Omnidex Environment Catalog and opens a cursor. | + | |
| - | Enter CONNECT followed by the environment catalog file spec and any desired parameters at the prompt. | + | ===== Syntax ===== |
| - | >connect orders.env | + | CONNECT [TO] Omnidex_Environment |
| - | Connected to C:\Omnidex\Demodata\orders.env | + | [ON host[:port]] |
| - | > | + | [AS [user]/[password]] |
| + | [USING api] | ||
| + | [WITH options] | ||
| + | ===== Discussion ===== | ||
| - | Or, type CONNECT and press return to be prompted for each parameter. | + | == Omnidex Environment == |
| + | Reuired: This is the Omnidex Environment or ODBC or JDBC File DSN. If connecting to a File DSN then the USING api clause with ODBC, JDBC or OA needs to be specified. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == [ON host[:port]] == | ||
| + | Optionally specifiy the Host and Port for a network connection. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == [AS [user]/[password]] == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Optionally specify a username and password in the AS [ user]/[ password] clause. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == [USING api] == | ||
| + | Optionally specify which API to use for processing subsequent statements. The USING clause facilitates the testing of ODBC and JDBC environments for testing and optimization. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Allowable values for API are: | ||
| + | * ODBC - Open Data Base Connectivity | ||
| + | * JDBC - Java Data Base Connectivity | ||
| + | * CLOA - Client OmniAccess. | ||
| + | * OA - OmniAccess - this is the default if no USING clause is specified. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == [WITH options] == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Optionally specify connect options in the WITH clause. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The NOCURSOR option will cause a connection to be established without opening a cursor. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Examples ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | >connect orders.env | ||
| + | Connected to C:\Omnidex\Demodata\orders.env | ||
| + | | ||
| - | >connect | ||
| - | Environment file: /disctest/oracle/orders.env | ||
| - | User: guest | ||
| - | Password: | ||
| - | Options: | ||
| - | Enter / to exit the series of prompts at any time. | ||
| - | Specify a username and password in the AS [ user]/[ password] clause. | ||
| - | Specify connect options in the WITH clause. | ||
| - | The NOCURSOR option, will cause a connection to be established without opening a cursor. | ||
