Connecting to Datasources from an Alphabetical Listing

Go Up to Connecting to Datasources

The Select Datasource dialog lets you sequentially connect to a set of datasources chosen from a list.

To connect to one or more datasources

1. On the Datasource menu, select Select. The Select Datasource dialog opens.
2. For each datasource that you want to connect to, select a datasource from the Datasource list, and then click Connect to connect to the selected datasource.
3. If the last datasource you connect to supports multiple databases, you can optionally select a database from the Database list, and then click OK to have that database selected.

The datasource display expends to show the top level of nodes available on the datasources you connected to. For more information, see Using the Datasource Navigator/Explorer.
