Opening the database

OPEN DATABASE "database" [PASSWORD "password"] ;

database
The database argument specifies the database path and name. The database path may be specified either by giving a HP-UX path or a HP Eloquence volume.
password
The password argument specifies the database maintenance password. The PASSWORD clause is not required if the database has no maintenance password or you are the superuser (root).
For example:

  OPEN DATABASE "/opt/sqlr/db.g/db";
This opens the database "db" located in directory /opt/sqlr/db.g.

  OPEN DATABASE "test,DB" PASSWORD "secret";
This opens the database "TEST" at the path described by the HP Eloquence
volume "DB".
