Defining the ADO.NET interface

Using the ADO.NET Database Profile Setup

To define a connection using the ADO.NET interface, you must create a database profile by supplying values for at least the basic connection parameters in the Database Profile Setup -- ADO.NET DB dialog box. You can then select this profile at any time to connect to your data in PowerBuilder.

For information on how to define a database profile, see Using database profiles.

Specifying connection parameters

You must select a data provider from the Provider drop-down list, and then supply a value for the database connection parameters and for the User ID and Password.

The connection parameters vary depending on the type of data source connection you are making.
