Connecting to an InterBase Database

1.  To connect to the database, click  and the DataBase Connect dialog opens.

Note:     The Database Connect dialog opens automatically when you create the TUTORIAL database.

Once you are connected, the Status Bar at the bottom of the IBConsole window shows the server name, the name of the database you just created, and the name of the user connected to the server.
