Database accounts

Previous Next

A database account is a location in a physical RDBMS where appdata or metadata of an application are kept in a set of database tables.

Such a location is identified at RDBMS level by a database schema (SQL Server) or a database user account (Oracle). Delivery Manager only supports database accounts in the SQL Server and Oracle RDBMSs.

In Delivery Manager, in the same way as in USoft Binder, a database account is identified by the combination of a username, password, and database connect string.

Relationships between database accounts and applications are not registered in the Delivery Manager data model. Rather, you imply such a relationship at the time when you come to call an action, when you are usually asked to pass the combination of 2 parameters: Application and Database Account.

To define or view database accounts in Delivery Manager, choose Define, Database accounts from the menu.

A database account defined in Delivery Manager has the following properties.
