Creating a database profile – PB Docs 126

Creating a database profile

To create a new database profile for a database interface,
you must complete the Database Profile Setup dialog box for the
interface you are using to access the database.

  1. Click the Database Profile button in the
    PowerBar.

    The Database Profiles dialog box displays, listing your installed
    database interfaces. To see a list of database profiles defined
    for a particular interface, click the plus sign to the left of the
    interface name or double–click the interface name to expand
    the list.

  2. Highlight an interface name and click New.

    The Database Profile Setup dialog box for the selected interface
    displays. For example, if you select the SYC interface, the Database
    Profile Setup – Adaptive Server Enterprise dialog box displays.

    note.png Client software and interface must be installed

    To display the Database Profile Setup dialog box for your
    interface, the required client software and native database interface
    must be properly installed and configured. For specific instructions
    for your database interface, see the chapter on using the interface.

  3. On the Connection tab page, type the profile name
    and supply values for any other basic parameters your interface
    requires to connect.

    For information about the basic connection
    parameters for your interface and the values you should supply,
    click Help.

    note.png About the DBMS identifier

    You do not need to specify the DBMS identifier
    in a database profile. When you create a new profile for any installed
    database interface, PowerBuilder generates the correct DBMS connection
    syntax for you.

  4. (Optional) On the other tab pages, supply values
    for any additional connection options (DBParm parameters and SQLCA properties) to take advantage
    of DBMS-specific features that your interface supports.

    For information about the additional connection
    parameters for your interface and the values you should supply,
    click Help.

  5. (Optional) Click the Preview tab if you want to
    see the PowerScript connection syntax that PowerBuilder generates
    for each selected option.

    You can copy the PowerScript connection syntax from the Preview
    tab directly into a PowerBuilder application script.

    For instructions on using the Preview tab
    to help you connect in a PowerBuilder application, see the section
    on using Transaction objects in Application Techniques.

  6. Click OK to save your changes and close the Database
    Profile Setup dialog box. (To save your changes on a particular
    tab page without closing the dialog box, click
    Apply.)

    The Database Profiles dialog box displays, with the new profile
    name highlighted under the appropriate interface. The database profile
    values are saved in the system registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareSAPPowerBuilder12.6
    DatabaseProfilesPowerBuilder
    .

    You can look at the registry entry or export the profile as
    described in “Importing and exporting
    database profiles”
    to see the settings you made.
    The NewLogic parameter is set to True by default. This setting specifies
    that the password is encrypted using Unicode encoding.
