The server is actively running, and should be left alone until you want to stop hosting the SurrealDB server.


> [!NOTE]
> The message "Started web server on 127.0.0.1:8000", indicates where the server is being hosted and must be accessed by clients. The location `127.0.0.1:8000` is the default, and can be manually changed by specifying the `--bind` option of the `surreal start` command.

The `surreal start` command starts the server as a whole without regard to individual namespaces or databases.

To access the SurrealDB server that you have started hosting, open a separate terminal which will act as the "client", while the previous terminal is still running the `surreal start` command described above.

In the new terminal, run the [`surreal sql` command](/docs/surrealdb/cli/sql) using the options shown below.
To access the SurrealDB server that you have started hosting, open a new terminal which will act as the "client", while the previous terminal is still running the `surreal start` command described above. This is done using a separate [`surreal sql` command](/docs/surrealdb/cli/sql). A particular namespace and database can be specified using the `surreal sql` command, as seen below.

```bash
surreal sql --endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8000 --namespace my_namespace --database my_database --auth-level root --username my_username --password my_password
