Hi,
I didn't have a look yet into the DTP EMF models, but at least in the UI
it seems that a Driver Definition includes properties of the actual
connection, like connection URL, database name etc.
Shouldn't these be two seperate things, the Driver Definition and the
Connection Definition? Currently, if I want to connect to two different
databases using the same JDBC driver, I have to specify JDBC driver jar
+ class name for each connection. That's redundant (something that
should ring a bell in the ears of DB vendors' employees, shouldn't it ;-)
Regards,
Jörg

Hello Brian,
that helps, unfortunately a different bug had kept me from finding that
out.
Maybe the labels could say something like "Example URL" or "Default
URL", "Default User ID" and "Default Password" so that this becomes
clear? At the first look it seems these properties will be fixed just as
the "Driver Class", which cannot be changed per connection profile.
Regards,
J

Hi Jorg!
The "redundant" properties you see in the driver definition are there to
provide defaults to the profile wizard. Once you've defined a driver
definition for your driver type (let's use Derby as an example), any time
you create a new Derby profile, you can reuse the driver definition and not
have to provide the same details over again.
Does that help?
