This is a feature of JBuilder Professional and Enterprise.
Use the New JDBC Connection dialog box to define a connection to a database server. To open this dialog box in the JDataStore Explorer, choose Tools|Import|Tables and click the New button.
Opens the Select Database dialog box so you can choose a previous database connection.
Specify the driver class to use when connecting to the database. Choose from one of the predefined drivers for popular databases, or type in the class name.
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, the format for a remote JDataStore URL is:
jdbc:borland:dsremote://<hostname>/<filename>
A URL in that format to access the JDataStore file c:\someApp\ecom.jds
on the computer mobile.mycompany.com
would look like:
jdbc:borland:dsremote://mobile.mycompany.com/c:/someApp/ecom.jds
For some database drivers, the button next to the URL is enabled to help you choose a local file. The URL is then set automatically for that file.
Enter the user name authorized to access the server database.
Enter the password of the specified Username for access to the server database. An asterisk (*) appears for each character that you type in this field.
Displays the extended properties used for the connection. To edit these properties, click the Edit button.
The button next to Extended properties opens the Extended Properties dialog box, in which you specify addition name/value settings required by the connection.
