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.

If you rename a connection, update every data set (record set) that uses the old connection name by double‑clicking the recordset in the Bindings panel and selecting the new connection name in the DataSet dialog box.

Edit a connection

  1. Open an ASP.NET page in Dreamweaver, 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. Make the changes and click OK. Dreamweaver updates the include file, which updates all the pages in the site that use the connection.

Delete a connection

  1. Open an ASP.NET page in Dreamweaver, and 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.
