<h3>Create a New SQL Anywhere Connection</h3>
|
||
|
|
This dialog allows you to define the settings for a connection to a
|
||
|
|
SQL Anywhere database.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> <label>Name</label> A name to identify the connection settings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> <label>Host</label> Name or IP address of the computer hosting the database server (leave blank for local connections).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> <label>Port</label> IP port used by the database server (leave blank for local connections or to use default port 2638).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> <label>Server</label> Name of the database server (leave blank for default server on host).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> <label>Database</label> Name of the database (leave blank for default database on server).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> <label>Connection Parameters</label> Additional parameters to add to the connection string (semi-colon delimitted list). See the SQL Anywhere documentation for a list and description of available connection parameters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> <label>Username</label> Database user name.
|
||
|
|
<li> <label>Password</label> Database password.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> <label>Save Username</label> Indicates whether to save the database user name in the connection configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> <label>Save Password</label> Indicates whether to save the database password in the connection settings. <em>Passwords are saved in <strong>clear text</strong> in the system configuration!</em>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> <label>Simple Encryption</label> Secure the connection to the database using simple encryption.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> <label>Estimate table metadata</label> When initializing layers, various queries may be needed to establish the characteristics of the geometries stored in the database table. When this option is checked, these queries examine only a sample of the rows, rather than the entire table. This can significantly speed up layer initialization, but may result in incorrect characterization of layers containing heterogenous types.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> <label>Search other users' tables</label> Indicates that the layer list should be populated from all layers stored in the database. When unchecked (the default), only layers stored in tables owned by the connected user are displayed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</ul>
