Chapter 29. Database menu

This menu contains commands for work with a database.

Connection to a database

Before any work with points and graphics in a database, it is necessary to connect via the ODBC drivers to the database. All the parameters for connection can be pre-set in the Configuration file, when actually signing in, you only have to enter a login name and password. After calling the command, a dialog window displays where you have to enter login name, password, and select the pertinent database profile from the list. Other parameters are pre-set to the values defined in the Configuration file, but they can be changed.

The GROMA systems logs onto the database server via the ODBC driver after pressing the button (Sign In) ). If the signing in doesn't fail, the Project manager automatically displays. If this is your first signing into the database after installation, the system notifies you that the database hasn't been initialized yet and offers the initialization. All the required tables and system codebooks are created during the initialization.
