Creating a Database Connection from the File Explorer

You can also create a database connection from the File Explorer window.

To create a database connection:

1. Display the File Explorer window if it is not already open ( View > File Explorer).

2. In the File Explorer window, right-click the RelationalDB icon and select New Server from the short-cut menu.

Stylus Studio displays the Connection Settings dialog box.

3. Specify the information needed to create the database connection and click OK. (See Specifying Connection Settings if you need help with this step.)

The server connection appears in the File Explorer window.

4. Expand the server connection to expose the relational objects you want to include in your DB-to-XML data source.
