A database profile is a named set of parameters stored in your system registry that defines a connection to a particular database in the PowerBuilder development environment. You must create a database profile for each data connection.
Using database profiles is the easiest way to manage data connections in the PowerBuilder development environment. For example, you can:
Select a database profile to connect to or switch between databases
Edit a database profile to customize a connection
Delete a database profile if you no longer need to access that data
Import and export database profiles to share connection parameters quickly
For instructions on using database profiles, see Chapter 12, “Managing Database Connections.”
