connect

NAME
connect - establish a database connection
 
SYNOPSIS
connect [-v]
connect [OPTION...] SERVER

 
DESCRIPTION
Establish fluidshell's connection to SERVER which specifies the server name in a folder provided by the ${CONNECTIONS} shell variable. If no arguments are passed or only -v option is specified then it will attempt to re-establish a connection to the previous connection.
 
If both ${SERVERNAME} and ${DATABASE} shell variables are defined, and the ${SERVERNAME} shell variable matches SERVER, then the ${DATABASE} shell variable overwrites the database property defined in the file specified by SERVER. If -d option is specified, it overwrites both ${DATABASE} shell variable and SERVER's database property.
 
An opened connection is managed as a session by fluid shell. A session is a server connection with an unique identifier assigned. Session identifier can be specified by -k option, default to 'default'. Multiple sessions can be created and tracked in a fluid shell, please see \session manual page for more information.
