Command Syntax to Access Database on Remote Network Node
If the database you want to access is on a remote network node, then you must include the virtual node name (v_node) of the remote node, followed by two colons (::), as follows:
command v_node::dbname
The virtual node name is the name of the computer as registered with Net. For more information about Net, see the Connectivity Guide.
For example, to start Ingres Menu for the personnel database on the berkeley node, enter:
ingmenu berkeley::personnel
