42 Connection to an LTPDA Repository is normally carried out as part of other processes. For example, when submitting an
43 object to the repository using the <tt>submit</tt> command, the user is prompted to login to the chosen repository.
44 </p>
45 <p>
46 It is also possible to connect to a repository using a script interface. The result is a connection object which can
47 be passed to other methods (for example, <tt>submit</tt>), thus allowing the construction of more automated procedures
48 for interacting with repositories.
49 </p>
50 <p>
51 To connect to a repository using the script interface, us the command <tt>utils.jmysql.connect</tt>. It takes the following input arguments:
52
53 <table border="1" cellpadding="2" width="30%" bgcolor="#DDDDDD">
54 <tr valign="top">
55 <td><tt>hostname</tt></td><td>A hostname for the repository</td>
56 </tr>
57 <tr valign="top">
58 <td><tt>dbname</tt></td><td>A database name to connect to</td>
59 </tr>
60 <tr valign="top">
61 <td><tt>username</tt></td><td>[optional] A username to connect with</td>
62 </tr>
63 <tr valign="top">
64 <td><tt>username</tt></td><td>[optional] A password to connect with</td>
65 </tr>
66 </table>
67
68 <br> If you don't supply them as input arguments, you will then be prompted for a
69 valid username and password.
70 <br>
71 The result is a <tt>mpipeline.repository.RepositoryConnection</tt> object which can be further used to interact with the repository.
72 <br>
73 To disconnect from the server, use the <tt>closeConnection</tt> method of the <tt>mpipeline.repository.RepositoryConnection</tt> class:
74
75 <div class="fragment"><pre>
76 >> conn.closeConnection
77 </pre></div>
