The Open Connection command lets you open additional HPD schemas and non-Oracle databases as background data.
The command supports access to the following formats:
• Oracle (schema or single table)
• Oracle Spatial (for Spatial Fusion)
• ODBC (for Spatial Fusion)
• PostgreSQL/PostGIS
• Web Feature Services
• Bathy DataBASE (available only if the BASE Manager module is enabled)
• Tile Coverage
Connections are retained after exit and user credentials can be saved through the Credential Management option in Tools > Options.
Connections contain the settings used to connect to the data source and the display properties that will be applied when the connection is used.
Each connection is saved to a Temp folder for the current Windows user account. The location can be changed using the Connections option in the Files and Folders category in Tools > Options.
