Database is a repository object containing basic settings required to connect to the current database created on the DBMS server.
NOTE. It is available to create and work with database only in the desktop application.
Various repository objects use database connection to access DBMS objects and information stored in these objects.
To create a database connection, select in the object navigator:
The Create > Database context menu item.
The New Object > Database item in the Create group on the Home ribbon tab.
A database creation wizard opens containing the following pages:
Basic Properties. Object name, identifier and comment are set.
Database Properties. It determines DBMS type control system installed on the server and additional connection parameters.
After a database is created the system checks if a default database is set in the repository. If there is no default database, the user is prompted to use the created database as default one.
