Add/Edit Data Source

To create a new data source, you have to choose at first the driver for the data source. Differently to all other data source properties, the driver can not be changed at a later point in time. In this dialog you'll see a list of currently available drivers. A driver is available if its *.jar file is in the Java class path and the driver is known (preconfigured).

• User-defined driver: This enables you to add non preconfigured driver.  
• Scan in class path: Scans the class path for predefined drivers.

After you have selected the driver for the data source you can configure your data source with all the various options necessary, such as user name, password, etc. If ?Save password? is enabled, the password will be saved encrypted in the data source.

You can edit the basic and -if necessary- the optional and compatibility settings for the data source. Database or driver specific settings can be set on these tabs to ensure compatibility with the used database or driver.
