To connect with a remote database (instead of the local database), you will need to create a new database cache.
Step 1: In the PowerServer project painter, select the Database page > Advanced tab, then click New in the upper part to create the database connection.
Step 2: In the dialog box that displays, specify the settings for the database connection.
The following uses the PB demo database for SQL Anywhere as an example.
-
Select SQL Anywhere (ODBC) from the Provider list.
-
Specify "sales_remotedb" (or any text you like) as the database cache name in the Cache name field.
-
Select the ODBC data source that connects with the remote database. The "SalesDemo DB" ODBC data source is created in Creating the ODBC data source.
-
Specify "dba" as the user name and "sql" as the password.
Step 3: Select the option "I have read and agree to the license ...".
Step 4: Click Test connection to make sure the database can be connected successfully.
Step 5: Then select the database cache you created just now to map with the "sqlca" transaction object.
