<p>
The console tool is able to handle several connections at the same time, they can dynamically be opened and
closed during a session. The current connection in use is indicated by the prompt.
Use the <span class="command"><strong>.c</strong></span> command to open a connection with the connection name (the name by which
the connection is identified within the tool) and a connection string; for example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
gda> .c cnc1 SalesTest
cnc1>
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The list of connection can be listed using the same <span class="command"><strong>.c</strong></span> command without any argument, for example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
ia32> .c
List of opened connections
Name | Provider | DSN or connection string | Username
-----+----------+--------------------------+---------
cnc1 | SQLite | SalesTest |
ia32 | SQLite | IA32Instructions |
(2 rows)
ia32>
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
To switch from one connection to the other, use the <span class="command"><strong>.c</strong></span> command with the connection name to use
as single argument, for example to switch from using the "ia32" to the "cnc1" connection:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
ia32> .c cnc1
cnc1>
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<div class="sect1">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both">
<a name="id-1.8.6.5"></a>Virtual connections</h2></div></div></div>
<p>
Multiple connections can be <span class="emphasis"><em>bound together</em></span> into a single connection in which it is possible
to runs SQL statements. This effectively allows one to run SQL statements across multiple databases.
</p>
<p>
Binding connections together is done using the <span class="command"><strong>.bind CNC_NAME CNC_NAME1 CNC_NAME2 [CNC_NAME ...]</strong></span>
command which creates new connection named "CNC_NAME" which binds the connections names "CNC_NAME1" and "CNC_NAME2"
together (more connections can be bound); each connection to be bound into a virtual connection must of course
already have been opened. The tables of each bound connection will appear into the new virtual connection as named
"<cnc name>.<table name>".
</p>
<p>
In the following example, there are the "cnc1" and "cnc2" connections opened, and the "cnc3" connection is
a virtual connection binding "cnc1" and "cnc2":
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
cnc2> .bind cnc3 cnc1 cnc2
Bound connections are as:
cnc1 in the 'cnc1' namespace
cnc2 in the 'cnc2' namespace
cnc3> .c
List of opened connections
Name | Provider | DSN or connection string | Username
-----+----------+--------------------------+---------
cnc1 | SQLite | DB_DIR=.;DB_NAME=pmodel |
cnc2 | SQLite | SalesTest |
cnc3 | | namespace cnc1 |
namespace cnc2
(3 rows)
cnc3>
</pre>
<p>
The contents of each "customers" table in each of the bound connection is accessible:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
cnc3> select * from cnc1.customers;
id | name | last_update | default_served_by | country | city
