Database Connection preferences
Dialog used to change the PrintShop Mail Connect back-end Database.
This dialog supports the swapping of the back-end database between various vendor
databases. Note, however, that the alternate vendor database(s) must already be installed and
available in order to swap to them.
This is not a migration tool. It is a simple connection tool, that enables shifting to a different
back-end database. Any existing data will not be transferred/ migrated between the databases,
and any existing File Stores will be cleansed by the Clean-up Service after the swap.
When shifting to a different back-end database, the changes won't be applied until PrintShop
Mail Connect is restarted. Including the Connect services. A full machine restart is
recommended, as this provides the cleanest restart of all the services.
