To create a database connection cache for the MySQL database using the General method:
-
In the Database Configuration dialog box, select MySQL from the Provider list,
-
Enter any text as the cache name.
-
Select the General tab.
-
Input your IP address or your machine name to Host.
-
Input the port number.
-
Enter your User name and Password.

Enter or select your database name from the Connect to a database list.
-
Click View License Terms to view the driver license and then select the check box of "I have read and agree to the license ...".
-
Click Test Connection to make sure the connection is successful.
The "Allow dynamic connection using the transaction LogID and LogPass" option allows the application to use the LogID and LogPass property values of the Transaction object to log in to the database server (instead of using the values in the User name and Password fields). For more, refer to Using LogID and LogPass properties.
