Example
We have already created a database named ‘demo’ in the previous chapters. In this example, we will connect to that using the user admin.
You can use the following command to connect to demo database.
orientdb> CONNECT PLOCAL:/opt/orientdb/databases/demo admin admin
If it is successfully connected, you will get the following output −
