You can share database profiles in the PowerBuilder development environment by specifying the location of a file containing the profiles you want to share. You specify this location in the Database Preferences dialog box in the Database painter.
To share database profiles among all PowerBuilder users at your site, store a profile file on a network file server accessible to all users.
When you share database profiles, PowerBuilder displays shared database profiles from the file you specify as well as those from your registry.
Shared database profiles are read-only. You can select a shared profile to connect to a database—but you cannot edit, save, or delete profiles that are shared. (You can, however, make changes to a shared profile and save it on your computer, as described in “Making local changes to shared database profiles”.)
