Console - `CONNECT ENV`

(since v 3.2)

Connects the console to an OrientDB server or to an embedded environment.

Syntax

CONNECT ENV <env-url> [<user> <password>]

<env-url> defines the URL of an OrientDB server/environment. It uses the format <mode>:<path>
- <mode> Defines the mode you want to use in connecting to the database. It can be plocal or remote.
- <path> Defines the path to the database.
<user> Defines the user you want to connect with.
<password> Defines the password needed to connect, with the defined user. User and password are needed to execute authenticated operations on the environment (eg. create a database on a remote server); they are not needed for operations that do not require an authentication or that require different credentials (eg. to open a database you can pass the database user and password, see OPEN)

After the console is connected to an environment, it allows to execute operations and Server-Level commands on it.

Examples:

Connect the console to a local (embedded) environment as the user root, loading it directly into the console:
```
orientdb> connect env plocal:../databases/
  
```

Connect to a remote server:

orientdb> connect env remote:192.168.1.1 root root
