Select the desired database type from the list and click Apply.

Property type

• Either Built-in or Repository.

• Built-in: No property data stored centrally.

• Repository: Select the repository file in which the properties are stored. The fields that follow are completed automatically using the data retrieved.

Host name

Database server IP address.

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.

Auto Commit

Select this checkbox to commit any changes to the database automatically upon the transaction.

With this checkbox selected, you cannot use the corresponding commit component to commit changes to the database; likewise, when using the corresponding commit component, this checkbox has to be cleared. By default, the auto commit function is disabled and changes must be committed explicitly using the corresponding commit component.

Note that the auto commit function commits each SQL statement as a single transaction immediately after the statement is executed while the commit component does not commit only until all of the statements are executed. For this reason, if you need more room to manage your transactions in a Job, it is recommended to use the commit component.

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to gather the Job processing metadata at a Job level as well as at each component level.

Usage rule

This component is more commonly used with other tFirebird* components, especially with the tFirebirdCommit and tFirebirdRollback components.
