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.
