REACTIVATE CONNECTION

Core command REACT CO REACO

Reactivates a deleted (inactive) database connection, unchanged.

Syntax

REACTIVATE CONNECTION <id>

Arguments

Argument	Required	Values	Default
`<id>`	Yes	The ID of an inactive connection	None

Examples

REACTIVATE CONNECTION MYDB01;

Details

Finding the ID

An inactive connection is invisible to the other commands (CONNECT, SHOW ALL CONNECTIONS...). Find its ID with SHOW INACTIVE CONNECTIONS, or in the "Inactive connections" view of the CONFIG window; TAB completion offers the inactive IDs.

An ID that names no connection at all fails with a "cannot find this ID" error.
An ID that names an active connection is reported as already active, and nothing changes.

Confirmation and effect

The command asks Reactivate connection '<id>' [y/n]?; only y or yes reactivates. Only the status changes back to active: every other field is exactly what it was when the connection was deleted.
