Basic Connection Settings selections:
l
Database vendor: Select the back-end database vendor type from drop down list.
Note
Moving from one vendor database to another will revert all screen selections
to defaults, regardless of what may have been previously selected.
l
Database URL: This is a read-only summation of the current database connection
settings.
Tip
If the Test Connection button shows that the database cannot be
successfully connected to using the selected settings, then the contents of this
field could be used to try to connect to the database outside of PlanetPress
Connect, to allow refining of acceptable connection options.
l
Hostname: Enter the IP Address or alias of the server where database resides.
l
Port: Enter Port number. The defaults are those which the vendors use by default.
l
Schema: The individual database schema, within the vendor database.
Note
If a previously non-existent schema were chosen here, then a new schema of
that name will be created within the database when the back-end database
swap is applied. The tables within that schema will not be created until
Connect is restarted.
