The Database Connections properties page allows you to select database connections for a project. You can choose from all of the database connections available in the workspace. Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge automatically connects to selected databases when you open the project.

To access the Database Connections page, right-click an OpenEdge project name in the Project Explorer view and choose Properties from the context menu. Expand the Progress OpenEdge node in the tree view, and then click the Database Connections node.

Note: If you chose the shared AVM for the currently selected project, the settings on this property page appear dimmed. They cannot be changed on this page, and they may also be inaccurate. You must go to the Database Connections page under the Shared OpenEdge AVM preference page to view or to change these settings. Select Window > Preferences from the main menu bar. Then open Progress OpenEdge > Shared OpenEdge AVM > Database Connections from the tree view.Also, be aware that settings changed on the Shared OpenEdge AVM/Database Connections preference page affect all projects that use the shared AVM.
