Usage of DTP - Questions [message #650214]

I want to use some features and components of DTP in my application. But I've got some question instead.

1.) First of all I want to use the Data Source Explorer, and it should display MySQL 5.5 databases,and local XML and CSV files. Can I achieve this by modifying the Data Source Explorer or do I have to build my own via Common Navigator Framework?

2.) The second question is, if I could get the components to work together with MySQL 5.5 with the correct JConnector?

3.) Where are the information about the databases like table names, primary key, constraints are saved, and could i write these information into my own model?

4.) How or where is the Database Connection saved, so that at start of the application the connection is already displayed in the DSE?

Ok, most of that i could answer with the DTP FAQ.

But I have some new questions.
When I want to create a new Connection profile this wizard is opening. Can I modify this wizard so that only shows the databases I'm supporting?

Is there also a tutorial or something similar describing how to create my own driver and connection profile?

Glad you found the FAQ. :)

You can't really modify the wizard, but you can uninstall the databases
you don't support. There really isn't a programmatic way to hide
databases so far as I know.

As for how to create your own driver template & connection profile,
check these links out:

Thanks for your reply.

I found your blogentries yesterday already by myself. ;)

But what exactly do you mean with "uninstall the databases"?
How do I do this?

I mean uninstalling the plug-ins. Basically removing them from the
installation directory.
