Connecting to solidDB with solidDB tools
Note This topic applies to standard solidDB only. If you are using solidDB with Shared Memory Access (SMA) or Linked Library Access (LLA), see Deploying SMA and LLA applications for instructions on how to connect to a SMA or LLA server.
After starting solidDB, you can connect to the server from your workstation by using the following solidDB data management tools:
▪ solidDB SQL Editor (solsql), see solidDB SQL Editor (solsql)
▪ solidDB Remote Control (solcon), see solidDB Remote Control (solcon)
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 the names that you can use, for example.
Listening of 'tcp server1 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 server1 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 server1 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 that indicates that a connection to the server has been established.
