Opening the database

E Obsolete Database Utilities

OPEN DATABASE "database" [PASSWORD "password"] ;

database: The database argument specifies the database path and name. The database path may be specified either by giving a HP-UX path or a Eloquence volume.
password: The password argument specifies the database maintenance password. The PASSWORD clause is not required if the database has no maintenance password or you are the superuser (root).

For example:

  OPEN DATABASE "/opt/sqlr/db.g/db";

This opens the database "db" located in directory /opt/sqlr/db.g.

  OPEN DATABASE "test,DB" PASSWORD "secret";

This opens the database "TEST" at the path described by the Eloquence
volume "DB".
