Author: jparrai
Date: 28-03-2003

To connect to a database (create a bookmark in quantum) you use the New Bookmark menu item that appears when right-clicking on the blank space in the Database Bookmarks view.

Once this menu item is selected, you will see the "New Bookmark" wizard:

Creating Bookmarks involve four things:

1. specify a JDBC Driver;
2. provide the connection details (userid, password and JDBC URL);
3. choose a name for your bookmark; and
4. optionally, specify which schemas you want to view.
