DBMS allows you to administer MySQL databases from a GUI accessed with a client browser. To use DBMS, the tool must be enabled in the Sun ONE ASP Administration Console. Users logging in to the DBMS application will be asked to provide an authorization key.
The authorization key unlocks DBMS for use, and is configured by your Sun ONE ASP administrator in the Sun ONE ASP Administration Console (see Administering DBMS). You cannot use the application without a valid authorization key. If you do not have this key, contact your administrator.
The session timeout is set to 20 minutes by default. If your DBMS session expires, you will be prompted to log back in. Likewise, if the Sun ONE ASP administrator changes the authorization key, you will be prompted to log back in with the new key. Contact your Sun ONE ASP administrator if you feel the session timeout is too short, or if you are having trouble logging in.
Caution | Do not use this application from a public computer. Doing so could expose your information to other users of the shared computer. If you must use a public computer, it is strongly recommended that you delete database connections before closing the application or browser, as described in Deleting a DSN-based Connection (DBMS) and Deleting a DSN-less Connection (DBMS). |
To access DBMS
Access DBMS using the information provided by your Sun ONE ASP administrator.
The DBMS user interface defaults to the "last visited" view, and displays two primary panes. The left pane is the navigation pane and provides a tree view of the database structure hierarchy. The right pane is the content pane and displays node properties, user forms, or query execution results. Connection nodes in the left pane can be expanded by clicking text, or by clicking the plus (+) sign.
If you are using DBMS for the first time, your first step is to create and establish a connection to the MySQL database, as described in Connecting to a Database (DBMS).
Note | If information does not display as you think it should when using DBMS (for example, you update a table and your changes are not reflected in the user interface), you may need to refresh your browser by right-clicking in the pane and then clicking Refresh. |
