Database Name

The name of the database to which we want to connect.

User

Use the user ID with the Password property, for authentication if the calling application does not provide a user ID and password explicitly.

If we specify a value for the User ID property, then we must also specify a value for the Password property. The connection factory User ID and Password properties are used if the calling application does not provide a user ID and password explicitly.

Password

Use the password with the User ID property, for authentication if the calling application does not provide a user ID and password explicitly.

If we specify a value for the Password property, then we must also specify a value for the User ID property.

Re-Enter Password

Confirms the password.

Custom Properties

Specifies name-value pairs for setting additional properties on the object created at run time for this resource.

We must enter a name that is a public property on the object and a value that can be converted from a string to the type required by the set method of the property. The acceptable properties and values depend on the object created. Refer to the object documentation for a list of valid properties and values.
