Creating, editing, or deleting a database connection for the EGL wizards
When you are at the first screen in an EGL wizard for creating data parts from a relational database table or for creating a Web application from a relational database table, you specify a database connection in either of two ways:
- Select an existing connection from a drop-down list; or
- Interact with the New Database Connection Wizard.
To use that wizard to create a connecton, click Add and add information as required. For details on the kind of input required in a particular field, right click into the field and press F1.
To edit an existing database connection, do as follows:
- Select Window > Open Perspective > Other. At the Select Perspective dialog, select the Show all check box and double-click Data.
- In the Database Explorer view, right-click on the database connection, then select Edit Connection. Step through the pages of the database connection wizard and change information as appropriate. For help, press F1.
- To complete the edit, click Finish.
To delete an existing database connection, do as follows:
- Select Window > Open Perspective > Other. At the Select Perspective dialog, select the Show all check box and double-click Data.
- In the Database Explorer view, right-click on the database connection, then select Delete.
