Connect to Default Profile
database preference
Description
Connect to Default Profile controls whether the Database painter
establishes a connection to a database using a default profile when the
painter is invoked. If not selected, the Database painter opens without
establishing a connection to a database.
Applies to
All database interfaces
In an application
You cannot set the Connect to Default Profile database preference
in code.
In the development
environment
In the Database painter, select or clear the Connect to Default
Profile check box in the Database Preferences dialog box as
follows:
-
Select the check box
(Default) The next time you invoke the Database painter, it
automatically connects to the default database profile. -
Clear the check box
The next time you invoke the Database painter, it does not
automatically connect to the default database profile.
Default value
The Connect to Default Profile check box in the Database
Preferences dialog box is selected by default.
Usage
Connect to Default Profile allows you to open the Database painter
without establishing a connection to a database. Consequently, you can
perform all database-related tasks, including defining a database
profile and connecting to a database, in the Database painter. However,
you might want to continue to define profiles and/or connect to a
database using the Database Profile since opening the Database painter
uses more system resources.
