Add, edit, or delete driver definitions for a specific
database server. Connection profiles use driver definitions to establish
database connections.
Open the Driver Definitions preferences page at .
Driver
details can include driver classes, URL, and JAR file locations, but these
details are dependent on the requirements of each driver. You can
define driver definitions before you create connection profiles, or
when you create or edit a connection profile that requires a driver
definition.
- Driver Definitions preferences page
- This page displays the available driver definitions. You can filter driver
definitions by vendor to simplify the list. Select a driver definition
and click Edit to open a window so that you
can modify the driver definition properties. You can also create and
remove driver definitions.
- Edit Driver Definitions dialog box
- You can view the name and type of driver on the first page. On
the Jar List page, you can modify the JAR files
that are used for this driver. Some drivers are included with this
product, and others are included with your database server. The Jar
List shows you which JAR file includes the driver and
the current path to the driver. You can modify the location of the
JAR file to point to another location on your computer, but for drivers
that are included with the product, you should use the version that
is included with the product for best results. Other versions have
not been tested with the product.
