Using an existing SQL session

 

If you saved only one interactive SQL session by selecting option 1 (Save and exit session) on the Exit Interactive SQL display, you can resume the session at any workstation.

However, if you use option 1 to save two or more sessions on different workstations, interactive SQL will first attempt to resume a session that matches your workstation. If no matching sessions are available, then interactive SQL will increase the scope of the search to include all sessions that belong to your user ID. If no sessions for your user ID are available, the system will create a new session for your user ID and current workstation.

For example, you saved a session on workstation 1 and saved another session on workstation 2 and you are currently working at workstation 1. Interactive SQL will first attempt to resume the session saved for workstation 1. If that session is currently in use, interactive SQL will then attempt to resume the session that was saved for workstation 2. If that session is also in use, then the system will create a second session for workstation 1.

However, suppose you are working at workstation 3 and want to use the ISQL session associated with workstation 2. You then may need to first delete the session from workstation 1 by using Option 2 (Exit without saving session) on the Exit Interactive SQL display.
