Logging On to the Database 

Procedure

Start SQL Studio and use one of the following options for logging on to the database:

Logging on using File ® Connect

Direct log on using saved log on data

WAN Mode

If the connection to the database is poor, you can work with the SQL Studio, albeit with fewer functions, in WAN mode (WAN = Wide Area Network).

In WAN mode, only Direct SQL Dialog is available. In addition, you are able to access your SQL Studio user profile.

Activate the WAN Mode checkbox in the standard toolbar and then log on to the database.

NOTIMEOUT

The database will usually terminate an existing database connection automatically if it has been inactive for a certain amount of time.

You can, however, change this.

To do so, activate the NOTIMEOUT checkbox in the standard toolbar and then log on to the database.
