New to DB2, Need help

SPudTFN · #1 (**permalink**) 04-07-04, 09:40

I am trying to connect to a database.
I enter the command line:
connect to "database" user "username" using "password"
I get returned:
SQL30061N The database alias or database name "database " was not found at the remote node. SQLSTATE=08004

The database name is right its those extra spaces it seems that are confusing both me and DB2 so I can't connect to it.

If you can help me please do! I will be endlessly greatful, I'm getting deperate here!

Thanks!

The spaces didn't come out the way I wanted there, there should be about 8 of them or so after the database name.

Where is the database , local or remote ?

If it is remote, you will have to configure the database using the Config Assistant ...

Thanks!
