When adding a new connection, depending on the connection type a template must be specified.
A template must be specified for Informix and Oracle connection types. The options are:
| Connection type | Template | Explanation | ||
| Informix7 or 9 [sysmaster] | informix | Select this option if your Baan environment communicates with the database via the Baan database driver. | ||
| odbc_informix | Select this option if your Baan environment communicates with the database via ODBC. | |||
| Oracle 7, 8, 9 or 10 | oracle | Select this option if your Baan environment communicates with the database via the Baan database driver. | ||
| odbc_oracle | Select this option if your Baan environment communicates with the database via ODBC. | |||
The other connection types (i.e. for other databases, Baan and OS related connections) have only one possible template, and therefore the template selection field is disabled.
