Database profiles registry entry

Contents

Database profiles for all data sources are stored in the registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Sybase\DataWindowDesigner\2.5\ DatabaseProfiles.

Editing

You should not need to edit the profiles directly to modify connection information. These files are updated automatically when DataWindow Designer creates the database profile as part of the ODBC data source definition.

You can also edit the profile in the Database Profile Setup dialog box or complete the Database Preferences dialog box in DataWindow Designer to specify other connection parameters stored in the registry. (For instructions, see Chapter 12, “Setting Additional Connection Parameters.”)

Example

The following example shows a portion of the database profile for an EAS Demo DB data source:

DBMS=ODBC
DbParameter=ConnectString='DSN=EAS Demo DB;UID=dba;PWD=00c61737'
Prompt=0
