Database URLs

A database URL is used to specify a database instance to connect to. 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 CenterView currently supports.

Oracle:	jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:1521:cview
Sql Server:	jdbc:sqlserver://hostname\myservice;databaseName=cview
MySQL:	jdbc:mysql://hostname/cview

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

cview

The name of the database.
