Creating database connections on the Macintosh
Note: This information is intended for UltraDev 1 users.
For your run-time connection, follow the guidelines in Selecting the connection type. Recall that the run-time connection is used by your Web application running on your Web server, not by UltraDev running on the Macintosh.
For UltraDev running on the Macintosh, you'll probably need to define a different design-time connection. You typically need to do this when developing an ASP or ColdFusion application on the Macintosh. These Web applications rely on run-time ODBC or OLE-DB drivers not supported by the Macintosh at design time.
In most cases you'll specify a JDBC driver like the RmiJdbc driver or the Oracle Java driver for your design-time connection. Accordingly, your connection type will be JDBC.
Here are examples of design-time connections for the Macintosh:
| Database |
Application server |
Design-time driver |
Design-time connection type |
| Access |
ASP |
RmiJdbc |
JDBC |
| Access |
JSP |
RmiJdbc |
JDBC |
| Oracle |
ColdFusion |
Oracle Java Driver (with URL) |
JDBC |
Note: The RmiJdbc driver included on UltraDev's CD is appropriate only for design-time connections, not run-time ones. Conversely, Sun's Jdbc-Odbc Bridge driver is not appropriate for design-time connections on the Macintosh.
