Dreamweaver

Edit or delete a database connection

When you create a database connection, Dreamweaver stores the connection information in an include file in the Connections subfolder in the site’s local root folder. You can edit or delete the connection information in the file manually or as follows.

Edit a connection

  1. Open a JSP page in Dreamweaver, and then open the Databases panel (Window > Databases).
  2. Right-click (Windows) or Control‑click (Macintosh) the connection and select Edit Connection from the menu.
  3. Edit the connection formation and click OK.

    Dreamweaver updates the include file, which updates all of the pages in the site that use the connection.

    If you rename a connection, update every recordset that uses the old connection name by double-clicking the recordset in the Bindings panel and choosing the new connection name in the Recordset dialog box.

Delete a connection

  1. Open a JSP page in Dreamweaver, then open the Databases panel (Window > Databases).
  2. Right-click (Windows) or Control‑click (Macintosh) the connection, and select Delete Connection from the menu.
  3. In the dialog box that appears, confirm that you want to delete the connection.
    Note: To avoid getting errors after deleting a connection, update every recordset that uses the old connection by double-clicking the name of the recordset in the Bindings panel and choosing a new connection in the Recordset dialog box.
