The Database Editor dialog box sets up the properties of a database that specify the connection that should be made to a database. This dialog box allows you to specify the type of database, the connection parameters, the user name, SQL role, and password, and whether or not a login prompt is required.
These properties of the database component, as well as others, can also be specified using the Object Inspector.
