Global Database Location Panel Options

•Database Mode - VISTA/SQL. NOTE: SQL will work for SQL AZURE as well. We will need the database name and schema name.

•VISTADB Location - Path to the VISTADB file that is your WireCADGlobalEquipment.vdb3 file.

•Global DB File Name - Note that this is the default name given to the global database file but you may change it.

•Host Name and Instance - This can be a fully qualified path, ip address, or host name.

•Database Name - The name of the global database to connect to. This is WireCADGlobalEquipment by default but you may choose to rename it.

•Use Schema, Schema Name - WireCAD supports multiple schema in the same database file. This is useful if you are using a cloud based SQL Server service that charges by the database. You can have a schema for your global database and one for each of your project databases. All contained within the same database file.

•Use Window Security - Use this if you wish Windows security to manage the login. This will not work with SQL Azure.

•User Name, Password

•Test Connection - Test to see if you can connect and have the appropriate privileges.
