Quick Start Guide - Register Database
For using the database monitoring capabilities, you first have to register a new database entry beneath a server entry. Select the server/database node and click the Register/Duplicate Database button in the toolbar of section 1 in the Main Screen.
Enter the following information:
• | Display name: This is the string shown in the list of databases. |
• | Database name: Database path or alias. |
• | User name: Name of the Firebird user you want to use for the database attachment. |
• | Password: The user's password. The password will be stored encrypted in the FB TraceManager 2 database to suppress misuse in case someone is connecting to the FB TraceManager 2 database directly, e.g. via third-party tools like isql, Database Workbench, FlameRobin etc. |
• | Role name: Role name used for the connection. |
• | Character set: Character set used for the connection. |
• | Auto connect: Select this option if you want to connect to a particular database upon program start automatically. |
The user name and password are optional to support Firebird trusted authentication on Windows platform.
What's next: The next QSG section Register Project will show you how to register a project.
