confds

Configure data source for Visual Query Builder (JDBC on UNIX only)

Syntax

Description

confds displays the Configure Data Source dialog box, from which you add and remove data sources. Use confds on a UNIX platform if you connect to databases via JDBC drivers and want to use the Visual Query Builder. (You cannot use the Visual Query Builder on a Windows platform with a JDBC driver.) To add and remove data sources for connections that use ODBC drivers, see Setting Up a Data Source.

  1. Complete the Name, Driver, and URL fields. For example:
  1. Name: orcl

    Driver: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

    URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@144.212.123.24:1822:

  1. Click Add to add the data source.
  2. Click Test to establish a test connection to the data source. You are prompted to supply a username and password if the database requires it.
  3. Click OK to save the changes and close the Configure Data Source dialog box.

To remove a data source, select it, click Remove, and click OK.
