Database Connect Strings

Database Connect Strings

When you create a database connection, specify a connect string for that connection. The Metadata Manager Service uses the connect string to create a connection object to the Metadata Manager repository database in the PowerCenter repository.
The following table lists the native connect string syntax for each supported database:
Database
Connect String Syntax
Example
IBM DB2
dbname
mydatabase
Microsoft SQL Server
servername
@
dbname
sqlserver@mydatabase
If you do not specify the connect string in the syntax specified, you must specify the ODBC entry specified for the data source.
Oracle
dbname
.world (same as TNSNAMES entry)
oracle.world
The Metadata Manager Service uses the DataDirect drivers included with the Informatica installation. Informatica does not support the use of any other database driver.
