Database Connection preferences
Dialog used to change the PlanetPress Connect back-end Database.
This dialog supports the swapping of the back-end database between various vendor
databases. Note, however, that the alternate vendor database(s) must already be installed and
available in order to swap to them.
This is not a migration tool. It is a simple connection tool, that enables shifting to a different
back-end database. Any existing data will not be transferred/ migrated between the databases,
and any existing File Stores will be cleansed by the Clean-up Service after the swap.
When shifting to a different back-end database, the changes won't be applied until PlanetPress
Connect is restarted. Including the Connect services. A full machine restart is recommended, as
this provides the cleanest restart of all the services.

Database vendor: Select the database type from the drop down list.

Moving from one vendor database to another will reset all screen selections to
defaults, regardless of what may have been previously selected.
