Use

Before you can use SQL Studio to access the data in a database instance, you must establish a connection with the database server and log on to the database. You can enter options for connecting to the database.

Prerequisites

You have started SQL Studio and entered the required options for connecting to the database.

Procedure

  1. Choose Session ® Connect.
  2. Enter the name of the database server and the database instance.
  3. Enter your user name and password, and choose OK.

Caution

When you enter the user name and password, the system automatically uses upper case. If you want the system to differentiate between upper and lower case, you must put quotation marks around your user name and password. The quotation marks are also necessary if the user name or password includes special characters. Quotation marks must not be used as part of the user name or password itself.

Result

The system establishes a connection with the database. The current session is entered in the recent sessions list.

Note

You can also open a new database session directly from the recent sessions list.
