Connecting to the database using a terminal

Connect to the database using the integrated Java-based terminal, or another terminal solution. As my local machine uses Windows, and does not have a terminal integrated into the OS, I have downloaded and installed PuTTY. This free SSH software allows me to connect to Linux command line servers from a Windows machine, using the key pair generated earlier for authentication.

If you are using another terminal solution for Windows or using another operating system, connect to the instance using the correct SSH procedure for the terminal. The steps will be similar, except for the required private key format conversion.
