• Built-in: No property data stored centrally.

Database

Name of the database.

Username and Password

DB user authentication data.

To enter the password, click the [...] button next to the password field, enter the password in double quotes in the pop-up dialog box, and click OK to save the settings.

Use or register a shared DB Connection

Select this checkbox to share your database connection or fetch a database connection shared by a parent or child Job, and in the Shared DB connection name field displayed, enter the name for the shared database connection. This allows you to share one single database connection (except the database schema setting) among several database connection components from different Job levels that can be either parent or child.

This option is incompatible with the Use dynamic Job and Use an independent process to run subJob options of the tRunJob component. Using a shared connection together with a tRunJob component with either of these two options enabled will cause your Job to fail.

Additional JDBC parameters

Specify additional connection properties for the DB connection you are creating.

Usage rule

This component is more commonly used with other tAccess* components, especially with the tAccessCommit and tAccessRollback components.

Limitation

If you are using an ODBC driver, you need to work with Java 7, and make sure that your JVM and ODBC versions match up: both 64-bit or 32-bit.

When working with Java 8, this component supports only the General collation mode of Access.

From 8.0.1-R2022-11 monthly release onward, this component uses hsql.2.7.1.jar, a module built in JDK 11, only Java 11 and higher versions are supported.
