EDIT CONNECTION

Core command ED CO EDCO

Edits an existing database connection

Arguments

<id> (mandatory) new connection ID

Examples

EDIT CONNECTION MYDB01;

Notes

Edits an existing database connection: EDIT CONNECTION <id>.

id is mandatory and must already exist in the Connections Definition File (CDF) - the command fails otherwise. Runs the same interactive wizard as ADD CONNECTION, pre-filled with the connection's current values: Name, Type, URL, User Name, User Password, Database Group, Environment and Comment, followed by a [y/n/c] confirmation. y saves the changes and immediately test-connects (reporting success or failure without undoing the save), n restarts the wizard from the top, anything else aborts without saving.

Environment is mandatory and must reference an existing Environment. Database Group is optional - clearing the prompt turns the connection into a standalone one (no Database Group); if specified, it must reference an existing Database Group, and the (Database Group, Environment) pair must not already be used by another connection (docs/CONNECTION_MODEL.md).
