Further information
1. This procedure establishes a connection to the database db as user n/p. It is possible to open several connections but the connection established last becomes active. Each connection is assigned an identification number which can be obtained by getting the value of the parameter OCIconnection after this procedure has been executed. This parameter can also be used to change the active connection.
2. When Mosel is running in restricted mode (see Section mosel command: restricted mode), the restriction NoDB disables this routine.
