To use solidDB Remote Control (solcon), you must have SYS_ADMIN_ROLE or SYS_CONSOLE_ROLE rights, or the connection is refused.

solcon connects to the first server that is specified in the Com.Connect parameter in the solid.ini file. If you specify no arguments, you are prompted for the database administrator user name and password. You can provide connection information at the command line to override the connect definition in solid.ini.
