Hi

If I setup a database connection profile and add a new driver jar. The next time I run Eclipse this information is not there. I only have the trial version at this time. This is very inconvenient.

Thanks

David

David,

Please state the build IDs of ME & Eclipse and your Java version and OS.
Also answer all relevant questions from the Posting Guidelines thread at the top of this forum, that’ll help us run down your problem.

Thanks,

David,

Looks like you’re running a clean Eclipse and MyEclipse ship, so configuration issues seem unlikely.

There are two parts to setting up a connection.
1) Configuring your driver
2) Creating a new Profile in the DB Browser

What exactly is failing for you? You restart eclipse and find your driver unconfigured (the jar file is missing) or do you find the profile missing, or maybe the profile is present but the driver is missing the jar…

Are you existing eclipse normally? Or does it crash or close unexpectedly? The information might not be persisted if Eclipse exits abnormally.

You forgot to mention what driver (exact details if possible) you’re using and what database you’re trying to connect to.
Also, once you configure your driver and profile, do you manage to connect successfully to your database and browse it, or does it not work for you at all?

Best,
Brian.
