Managing Databases

Reinitializing databases

Reinitializing a database closes all open connections and creates new ones. This can be useful to force a reconnection to a database system.

Deleting databases

Deleting a database deletes the connection configuration for the database system. The data contained in the database is not affected at all.

Database status

Each database has a status. The status indicates the condition of the database connection. The following table describes the possible statuses of a database.

Status
CONNECTED	The database connections were created successfully and are ready to be used.
ERROR	The database connections are broken. The database cannot be used until the cause of the error is eliminated and the connections are reopened. Reinitializing the database might correct the problem. You can view a description of the error by clicking on the word Error displayed in red.

References to the database

From the section of the database, you can access the References section. This section shows all the ressources that use this database. It is useful to check the references before deleting or modifying a database.
