Connection profile overview

When you first connect to a server or database, you typically enter a user name, password, and other optional connection parameters.

To make subsequent connections easier, you can create a connection profile that saves a group of parameters under a name that you supply. From then on, you can use that profile to connect to the object in one step.

To use and manage connection profiles, choose Connections > Connection Profiles. This command opens the Connection Profiles window, where you can:

Create a new connection profile.
Connect using a connection profile.
Edit an existing connection profile.
Set a profile to connect automatically when Sybase Central is started.
Import or export a connection profile.
Delete (or remove) profiles.

Note

Connection profiles are specific to Sybase Central. If you are building an ODBC application, you can achieve functionality similar to connection profiles using ODBC data sources.
