Local Databases
Use the Local Databases tab to create a database in Design Studio. Note that databases created in Design Studio are only available in Design Studio.
To make the database available both in Design Studio and on the server, the databases must be configured in the Management Console.
A list of created connections is shown in the left pane. You can create new connections, remove connections, or change their order using the buttons below the list. The currently selected connection is configured in the right side of the "Local Databases" window. The field name, host, type, schema, username and password are mandatory and must be specified.
The different database types are defined in the Management Console and automatically distributed to Design Studio at startup. New database types must be created in the Management Console.
