Database Tab

By default, Thinfinity® Workspace uses a local database to store and retrieve data. The Database tab offers access to the local database configuration settings.

The Database tab is displayed as in the following image.

The following options are available.

Option	Description
Database Connections	This field shows a list of currently available database connections. Click the + button to define a new database connection. Click the - button to delete the selected database connection.
Driver	Shows the type of database driver used to establish the connection to the database (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, etc.)
Server Name	Hostname or IP address of the database server.
Database Name	Specify the name of the specific database on the server that Thinfinity Workspace should connect to.
Credentials: Username/Password	Enter the Database Username and Password account that will be used to authenticate the connection.
ODBC Advanced	Click the three-dot button to add advanced ODBC options.
Trusted Connection	Allows the application to use Windows Authentication instead of traditional username/password authentication.
Test Connection	Use this button to test the connection to the database.
System Components list	By default, each system service and add-on is connected to a dedicated local database. To switch to an alternative database, create a new connection using the fields in the upper part of the dialog and then select it from the drop-down list associated to a service or add-on. Alternatively, you can use the Change subsystem connections to switch all components to the latest DB defined.
