Connect to Database Dialog

Used to connect to an external database from within Bentley Raceway and Cable Management.

You can access this dialog from the following:

Key-in: DBCONMGR CONNECT

Setting	Description
Database Server tabs	Allows you to select a database product on which the database is running.
Connect String	Sets additional information needed to make the connection. The syntax is dependent on the chosen Database Server as follows: Oracle - `<user_name>/<password>@ host name` ODBC - `<data_source_name>` OLE DB - `<data_source_name>` Note: The Connect String value is equivalent to the string that accompanies an ACTIVE DATABASE (DB=) key-in — for example (Oracle), DB=<user_name>/<password>@host name.
Browse for Data Source	Opens the Select Data Link File dialog, which allows you to select a UDL file.
Create New Data Source	Opens the UDL Filename dialog, which allows you to create a UDL file.
BUDBC Provider	Allows you to access databases through VBA and allows you to add a new database connection. It supports multiple connections at the same time using VBA.
