Re: [Squirrel-sql-users] Accessing Same Database Name in Different Environments

Note that I found how to catalog a database alias, but I don't understand
why I am getting this error.

db2 catalog database txvision as txvision_dev at node devnode
> SQL0104N  An unexpected token "txvision_dev" was found following "AS".
Expected tokens may include:  "<database-alias>".  SQLSTATE=42601
