Accessing the Database Configuration dialog

You can create the database cache for various databases in the Database Configuration dialog box in the PowerBuilder IDE. The database caches created here will be used first by PowerServer Toolkit to convert the DataWindows to C# models, and then deployed to the PowerServer and used for the database connection at runtime.

The Database Configuration dialog box can be opened by 1) opening the PowerServer project painter in the PowerBuilder IDE, 2) selecting the Database page, 3) selecting the Advanced tab, and then 4) clicking the New button.

If your application connects with only one database, you can also directly configure the database cache in the Basic tab.

The database configuration options are different according to each database type. You can view detailed description of each option in the section below for each database type.
