Connecting Databases
Before you can create the report definition, you must connect to at least one database. Follow these steps to connect to the sports database:
- Choose Report
Database Connections. The Connect Database dialog box appears:
![]()
- Type the full path of the first database you want to connect in the Physical Name field. If you must specify security information or startup parameters, choose the Options button. The Connect Database dialog box expands as shown below:
![]()
See the Progress Client Deployment Guide for a complete description of the expanded Connect Database dialog box.
- Specify the necessary information, then choose OK. After Report Builder connects to the database, the Database Connections dialog box appears:
![]()
The Database Connections dialog box lists all the databases to which you are connected. Because you connected to only one database, newsport is the only database in the list.
- Choose Close to return to the main window or New Connection to connect to another database.
See "Report Builder Functions," for information about connecting databases from the command line at Report Builder startup.
