# Syntax
A connection to a database can be established using the syntax:
```
local log on connection "<DATABASENAME>" silent
```
where the database name consists of the group name, a back slash and the database name. When silent is specified, the log on dialog will not appear for the user to interact with.
# Examples
The following example establishes the connection to the database `ACME\eol-mssql`:
```
local log on connection "ACME\eol-mssql" silent
```
