Connect dialog

SQL*XL home

This dialog is used to login to a database.

If you have logged onto the database before please use the connection from the Connection History list. You are only required to type the password again.

If this is the first time you logon to a particular database you need to make a new connection to the database first. Press the New Connection button and a screen will appear that allows various ways of making a new connection. You will find the connection wizard to be a good choice to start.
