Configuring Database Connections

This section presents a set of procedures describing how to configure connections that use Native XML Database data sources.

 How to configure a Berkeley DB XML Connection

<oXygen/> supports Berkeley DB XML versions 2.3.10 & 2.4.11.

The Connection Configuration Dialog

 
  1. Go to Preferences -> Data Sources. In the Connections panel click the New button.

  2. Enter a unique name for this connection and select one of the previously configured Berkeley data sources from the Data Source combo box.

  3. Fill-in the Connection Details:

    Environment home directory

    Path to the Berkeley DB XML's home directory.

    Verbosity

    The user can choose between four levels of verbosity: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR.

    Join existing environment

    If checked, an attempt will be made to join an existing environment in the specified home directory and all the original environment settings will be preserved. If that fails, you should consider reconfiguring the connection with this option unchecked.

  4. Click OK.
