Named Connections
Description
A named connection is a type of named resource that defines the connection details for connecting to data sources. This is where you provide details about your database or file-system location. Named connections are stored in the repository. Prior to Spectrum 9.2, they were included inline in a named table definition. Now a named table contains a reference to a named connection, not the entire connection information.
Named connections to a database or file-based data source can be created, modified, deleted, or renamed in Spectrum Spatial™ Manager.
Note: The pooling-datasource-factory.properties file (located under
SpectrumDirectory\server\modules\spatial)
may be used to configure the pooling of connections used by JDBC-based data
sources (such as Oracle and SQL Server) to maximize performance. For more
information, see Data Source Pooling Configuration,
Schemas
The schema for named connection definitions is defined in MXP_NamedResource_1_5.xsd and MXP_MapDataSource_1_5.xsd.
