Choose Existing URL dialog box

This is a feature of JBuilder Professional and Enterprise.

Use the Connection property editor to connect to a database server. Select Choose Existing URL to select from a historical list of URLs. To display the Connection property editor, add a Database component to a Frame, then select the connection property in the Inspector. Select Choose Existing URL to open the Choose Existing URL dialog box.

Connection URL

Specify the Universal Resource Locator (URL) for the database connection. The format consists of the URL type ("JDBC" for JDBC database access), followed by driver-specific information, separated by colons. The driver-specific information is driver/server dependent. Refer to your driver documentation for more information on this property. It typically includes the driver name followed by the data source name. For example, to access a Local InterBase Server sample file that has been configured with a data source name of DataSet Tutorial, the URL is: jdbc:odbc:DataSet Tutorial

Some options on this dialog box are unavailable until a connection URL is specified.

From the Choose a Connection URL dialog box, click the Show Data Sources button to change the source of URLs listed in the dialog box to all ODBC Drivers that have been registered in your computer's system registry.
