The database access interfaces supplied with Adelia Studio let you connect to a database by specifying a complete connection chain that fully defines the database.
This method is used to connect to a remote base with no need to configure the DBMS client. (The DBMS client must nevertheless be installed.)
You can specify a URL from anywhere in the application that lets you input a database name (with the exception of the version manager).
For an environment or a buffer, an URL can contain a substitution schema to replace the default schema (SYSADEL) for Adelia tables. This syntax is only supported if the notion of schema is supported by the DBMS (DB2, Oracle or SQL Server).
The URL's syntax, which is specific to Adelia, depends on the DBMS:
DB2 |
[<schema>/]<base>@<serveur>[:<port>]*
schema CASE only: name of the schema used instead of SYSADEL to access the data of the Adelia environment. base database name. server name or IP address of the database server. port port on which the DB2 instance listens (default port: 50000).
e.g.: TEST@TEST_SERVER:50000
|
Oracle |
<base>[@<server>[:<port>]*]
schema CASE only: name of the schema used instead of SYSADEL to access the data of the Adelia environment. base Oracle instance name. server name or IP address of the database server (default value: client machine address). port port on which the Oracle listener listens (default port: 1521).
e.g.: TEST@TEST_SERVER:1521
|
SQL Server |
<base>[@<server>[\<instance>]*]
schema CASE only: name of the schema used instead of SYSADEL to access the data of the Adelia environment. base database name. server Windows name of the database server (default value: client machine name). instance SQL Server instance name.
e.g.: TEST@TEST_SERVER\SQLExpress
|
MySQL |
<base>[@<server>[:<port>]*]
base database name. server name or IP address of the database server (default value: client machine address). port port on which the MySQL server listens (default port: 3306).
e.g.: TEST@TEST_SERVER:3306
