Extended Properties dialog box
This is a feature of JBuilder Professional and Enterprise.
To display the Extended Properties dialog,
- Select Tools|JDBC Explorer to start the JDBC Explorer.
- Select an URL in the left pane.
- Select the Definition page.
- Select Use Extended Properties.
- Click in the Extended Properties value box.
Use the Extended Properties dialog box to define additional connection properties that your driver may be able to use. These properties are stored in an instance of a
java.util.Properties
object and are not required or supported by all drivers. Refer to your
driver documentation to see if extended properties are relevant.
A properties table displays the extended properties that either you have defined or the driver has specified. There are three columns in the table:
- Name - The name of the property.
- Value - The value of the property. If the driver
can provide a list of acceptable values for any of these properties,
these values are displayed in a choice list beside the applicable
property.
- Required - Whether a value for this property is
required or not.
Each row in the table represents a distinct property.
Add Row
Creates an empty row in the table so that you can define a new connection property.
Remove Row
Deletes the current property by deleting the entire row of information on that property.
Use Driver Defaults
Accesses driver information and displays the properties in the properties table.
