done ====== About Accessing Databases ====== ===== What does it do ? ===== Use the Database Connections to define a connection to any database. Database Connections are used for accessing tables external to your file-based datasets. These connections are used in the [[:43:orbitgis:datasets:properties:contents:table_join|Dataset Properties Table Join]] window in Orbit GIS. ===== The Tool ===== The Database Connections tool is a utility window called 'Java Data Source Administrator', short JDSA. Open the window by running Database Connections from your windows menu. This tool cannot run remote: it only runs on the server machine.
