To connect to a database (create a bookmark in quantum) you use the New Bookmark menu item that appears
+when right-clicking on the blank space in the Database Bookmarks view.
+
+
+
+
Once this menu item is selected, you will see the "New Bookmark" wizard:
+
+
+
+
The data that the form asks of you is:
+
+
Bookmark name: Is your private name of the bookmark you
+ are creating. It will appear in the view after is created. For example Test.
+
Username: The username for accessing the database. For
+ example SCOTT for the classical Oracle
+ examples.
+
Password: The password for that username. For example
+ "TIGER" for the "SCOTT" user.
+
Prompt for Password: Check this box if you want to be prompted for a password
+ every time you try to connect to the database.
+
Schema: (optional): The schema of the user. We can leave
+ it blank.
+
Connect: Connect string, the format is (for Oracle) jdbc:[database]:[type]:@[host]:[port]:[database],
+ for example, for an Oracle database called DEV based on the same computer
+ you could put jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:DEV.
+
Driver: The driver name, it should be in the documentation
+ of the JDBC driver. For Oracle, is usually oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver or oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver (Oracle before
+ version 9)
+
Type: The type of the database. It will be used by Quantum
+ to adapt the SQL queries to the particular incompatibilites of each. The generic
+ should work for most of the features, so if you don't find your database on
+ the drop-down, use the Generic SQL.
+
+
Driver Filename: You can select the .jar or .zip file where the driver is located. For
+ example in Oracle is usually at C:\Oracle\jdbc\lib\classes12.jar, being C:\Oracle
+ the installation directory of oracle.
