Adding a database
To add a database to your view:
Step 1
On the DB Tree View, click the Add button

Step 2
On the first screen enter a name for your database connection and click the next button.
Step 3
Select or add the JDBC driver (see Configuring your JDBC drivers if you have not yet added one for your database.)
Enter the connection details including host, username, password, and database name. You can click the test connection button. If the connection is successful a message will appear in the top of the window. If there is an error, an error message will show details of the error. When you are ready, click the next button.
Step 4
On the final screen you can select connection access options. You can filter by string or regular expression. You can check and uncheck which databases are available.
If you would like your queries to auto-commit, check the "SQL Auto Commit" box.
When you are ready, click finish. You should now have a connection to your database and should be able to browse your database from the DB Tree View.
Displaying the DB Tree View
The DB Tree View should be displayed by default in the Database perspective. If you do not see this view, go to Window > Show View > DB Tree View to display the view (shown below).
