Overview of database connections

Use the New Connection wizard or pages that are embedded in other wizards to create a JDBC connection to a database.

Database connections are created automatically in the Data Source Explorer view when DB2® aliases have been configured. You can modify the behavior of these connections in the Preferences window.

You can create a generic JDBC connection to any database, by selecting Generic JDBC from the list of database managers on the Connection Parameters page and filling in the connection details.

The following restrictions apply to database connections in the workbench.
