2.5.6 Changing the database
By default, the Emacs interface connects to the default database,
4.2 The databases file. If you want to connect to another database, use
the command M-x gnats-change-database. It will ask you for the
database name to use, server and port it can be accessed on, and your
login name.
If you want to use the gnatsd command, B. The GNATS network server -- gnatsd,
directly, without connecting to a remote server or the localhost
connection port, provide your local file system full path to
gnatsd as the server name. Port number does not matter in
this case.
If the database requires a password to allow you the access to it, you
are prompted for the password the first time you connect to the
database. If you provide an invalid password, you cannot connect to
the database anymore and you have to run the M-x
gnats-change-database command again.
