Defining the SQL Server database interface – PB Docs 2018

To define a connection through the SQL Native Client interface, you
must create a database profile by supplying values for at least the basic
connection parameters in the Database Profile Setup – SQL Native Client
dialog box. You can then select this profile at any time to connect to
your database in the development environment.

For information on how to define a database profile, see Creating a database profile. For a
comparison of the database parameters you might have used with existing
applications and those used with the SNC database interface, see Migrating from the MSS or OLE DB
database interfaces.
