Connecting to a database

To establish or change a database connection in PowerBuilder, use a database profile. You can select the database profile for the database you want to access in the Database Profiles dialog box For how to create a database profile, see “Creating a database profile”.

Using the Database painter to select a database profile You can also select the database profile for the database you want to access from the Database painter’s Objects view. However, this method requires more system resources than using the Database Profiles dialog box.
