INGRES--Connect to a Database
Valid in: EQUEL
Connects to a database.
This statement has the following format:
## ingres [flag {,flag}] dbname
The ingres statement connects an application program to a database. The ingres statement must precede any statements that operate on the database. A program can access only one database at a time. However you can connect, one at a time, to any number of databases. For information about flags, see the quel command description in the Command Reference Guide.
