Generic function CONNECT

Package:

CLARITY

Syntax:

  connect db-spec
  => database-connection
  

Arguments and Values:

db spec---a string

(optional) connection--- a string

Description:

The generic function connect sets up a connection to an underlying CLARITY database for the handle. It takes two parameter, clarity handle, to preserve one's session, and db-spec a database connection string.

Known Methods:

•   connect (clarity-handle-object clarity-handle) (dp-spec string)
    => database-connection
    

•   connect (clarity-handle-object clarity-handle) (dp-spec string))
    => database-connection
    

  This uses the method sqlcon in place of a connection string.  In this case, db spec would be the null string, "".

Examples:

cl-prompt: (clarity:connect myclarityhandle "data source name/user/password")
#<CLARITY:CLARITY-HANDLE 2061155C> connecting as "data source name/user"
#<SQL::ODBC-DATABASE "data source name/user" 205F450C>
