Connecting to databases using the Data perspective

To create a new connection to an existing database using the Data perspective:

  1. Open the Data perspective by clicking Window > Open Perspective > Data.
  2. Right-click the Database Explorer and click New Connection. The New Database Connection wizard opens.
  3. Follow the instructions in the wizard to provide connection details and create filters.

    It is recommended that you create your own JDBC connection filters to exclude one or more tables from relational view. This decreases load time, which can be considerable for connections to a remote server. You cannot change these filters after you have created the connection.

  4. Click Finish. The wizard creates the database connection and a dialog box appears, asking if you want to copy the database metadata to a project folder.
  5. To associate the new connection with a message flow project, click Yes and click Browse to navigate to the appropriate message flow project.
