Connect to Default Profile controls whether the Database painter establishes a connection to a database using a default profile when the painter is invoked. If Connect to Default Profile is not selected, the Database painter opens without establishing a connection to a database.
You cannot set the Connect to Default Profile database preference in a PocketBuilder application script.
In the Database painter, select or clear the Connect to Default Profile check box in the Database Preferences dialog box as follows:
Select the check box (Default) The next time you invoke the Database painter, it automatically connects to the default database profile.
Clear the check box The next time you invoke the Database painter, it does not automatically connect to the default database profile.
The Connect to Default Profile check box in the Database Preferences dialog box is selected by default.
Connect to Default Profile allows you to open the Database painter without establishing a connection to a database. Consequently, you can perform all database-related tasks, including defining a database profile and connecting to a database, in the Database painter. However, you might want to continue to define profiles and/or connect to a database using the Database Profile since opening the Database painter uses more system resources.
