The interface-specific Database Profile Setup dialog box makes it easy to set additional connection parameters in the development environment or in code. You can:
Supply values for connection options supported by your database interface
Each database interface has its own Database Profile Setup dialog box that includes settings only for those connection parameters supported by the interface. Similar parameters are grouped on the same tab page. The Database Profile Setup dialog box for all interfaces includes the Connection tab and Preview tab. Depending on the requirements and features of your interface, one or more other tab pages might also display.
Easily set additional connection parameters in the development environment
You can specify additional connection parameters (database parameters and transaction object properties) with easy-to-use check boxes, drop-down lists, and text boxes. PowerBuilder generates the proper syntax automatically when it saves your database profile in the system registry.
Generate connection syntax for use in your PowerBuilder application script
As you complete the Database Profile Setup dialog box in PowerBuilder, the correct connection syntax for each selected option is generated on the Preview tab. PowerBuilder assigns the corresponding database parameter or transaction object property name to each option and inserts quotation marks, commas, semicolons, and other characters where needed. You can copy the syntax you want from the Preview tab into your PowerBuilder script.
