The Oracle Accelerator Login dialog lets the user specify Username, Password and Database.
In the Database drop-down list, select from previously selected Oracle hosts. The list of previously entered databases as well as the last UserID is stored in the Windows registry in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/SoftVelocity/Oracle tree as follows:
/Software/SoftVelocity/Oracle/UserID the last UserID
/Software/SoftVelocity/Oracle/HostMRU the last selected database
/Software/SoftVelocity/Oracle/HostCount number of databases in the list
/Software/SoftVelocity/Oracle/Host1 database name
/Software/SoftVelocity/Oracle/Host2 database name
/Software/SoftVelocity/Oracle/Hostn database name
If the Database list is empty, you may simply type in the database name. For example, type 2: to connect to the local Personal database. The 2: indicates a local host; X: indicates an IPX host and TNS: indicates a TCP/IP host.
Alternatively, you may also supply a connect string (containing the database name) in the Username field. The Oracle connect string syntax is:
username/password@Protocol:dbname
or
username@Protocol:dbname,password
See your Oracle documentation for more information on Oracle connect string syntax.
If the Username field is not long enough, you may continue the entry in the Password field, because the Oracle Accelerator driver simply concatenates these fields and forwards their contents to the Oracle server.
