Opening a Database

To work with a database in Relational Design Center, it must first be opened. Opening a database enables you to maintain the tables and views of the database.

Perform the following steps to open a database:

  1. From the tree view, double-click the server that contains the database with which you want to work.

    The tree view expands to expose the underlying databases.

  2. Double-click the database with which you want to work.

    The Open Database dialog box appears.

  3. Type your log-in credentials and click Open.

    Notes:
    • To authenticate log-in credentials using your ClearPath MCP usercode and password, select the MCP option in the Authentication list and type your log-in credentials.

    • To authenticate log-in credentials using Kerberos credentials, select the Kerberos option in the Authentication list.

      To encrypt your Kerberos credentials, select the Encryption option in the Encryption list.

  4. Proceed with your work as desired.
