Connecting to a Database

You can connect to the database.

Follow the steps below to connect a database:

1. In the Object Browser pane, right-click the selected database name and select Connect to DB.
   

   This operation can be performed only on an inactive database.

   The database is connected.

   The status bar displays the status of the completed operation.

   

   • Data Studio allows you to login even if the password has expired with a message informing that some operations may not work as expected when no other database is connected in that connection profile. Refer to Password Expiry for information to change this behavior.
   • Refer to Cancelling Connection section to cancel the connection to database.
