Connectable Operations

Use ttGridAdmin commands in this section to create, delete, modify, export, or list connectable objects, used in connecting to a TimesTen Scaleout database. A connectable specifies a set of connection attribute settings and thereby defines an underlying DSN and tnsnames.ora file entry.

There are two types of connectables: direct connectables for direct mode access, and client/server connectables for client/server access.

You can have multiple connectables for a database to use different sets of connection attribute settings. For example, if you have one application designed to receive ASCII data from the database and another designed to receive Unicode data, then create two connectables, each with the appropriate ConnectionCharacterSet attribute setting.

Note:

A direct connectable, with the same name as the database, is created automatically when you define a database with the dbdefCreate command.

See Connecting to a Database and its subsections in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Scaleout User's Guide for additional information about connectables.
