A database URL is used to specify a database instance to connect to, and is used in the phixflow-datasource.xml file. It includes the type of database, the host it is running on, and (generally) a database instance on the host.
These are the URL formats for the database platforms that PhixFlow currently supports.
| Platform | Connection String |
|---|---|
Oracle (< 12c): | jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:1521:phixflow |
| Oracle (> 12c with PDB containers): | jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:1521/phixflow |
Sql Server: | jdbc:sqlserver://hostname\myservice;databaseName=phixflow |
MySQL: | jdbc:mysql://hostname/phixflow |
Notes:
hostname | The name of the host which supports the database. If the database is on the same host as the Tomcat web server, user localhost |
phixflow | The name of the database. |
