Database Wizard

The Database Wizard creates a database file that contains information about a database.

Depending on the type of operation and the type of database, the Database Wizard consists of a varying number of steps.

If you create a new database file, the wizard contains two steps.

Select Database

Creates a new database, opens a database file, or connects to an existing database.

Save and proceed

Specifies whether you want to register the database, open the database for editing, or insert a new table.

Connection settings

Defines the connection settings to an existing database.

ODBC settings

Set up text file connection

Set up dBASE connection

Set up JDBC connection

Set up Oracle database connection

Set up MariaDB and MySQL connection

Back

View the selections in the dialog made in the previous step. The current settings remain unchanged. This button can only be activated from page two on.

Click the Next button, and the wizard uses the current dialog settings and proceeds to the next step. If you are on the last step, this button becomes Create.

Finish

Applies all changes and closes the wizard.

Cancel

Clicking Cancel closes a dialog without saving any changes made.
