Connecting to solidDB® with solidDB® tools (solsql and solcon)
After starting solidDB®, you can connect to the server from your workstation using, for example, the solidDB® data management tools, solidDB® SQL Editor (solsql) or solidDB® Remote Control (solcon).
Note This section applies to standard solidDB® only. If you are using solidDB® with shared memory access (SMA) or linked library access (LLA), see the solidDB® Shared Memory Access and Linked Library Access User Guide for instructions on how to connect to a SMA or LLA server.
To connect to solidDB®:
1 View the solmsg.out file in your database directory for valid network names that you can use to connect to solidDB®
The following messages indicate what names you can use.
Listening of 'tcp hobbes 1313' started.
2 Start one of the following tools and give the network name of the server as a command-line parameter:
Tool
Command
solidDB® Remote Control (solcon)
solcon "networkname" [userid [password]]
For example:
solcon "tcp hobbes 1313"
If you do not specify the DBA user name and password on the command line, solcon prompts you to enter them.
You must have administrator rights (SYS_ADMIN_ROLE) to use solcon.
solidDB® SQL Editor (solsql)
solsql "networkname" [userid [password]]
For example:
solsql "tcp hobbes 1313"
If you do not specify the DBA user name and password on the command line, solsql prompts you to enter them.
After a while, you see a message indicating that a connection to the server has been established.
