The SQL Statement dialog box provides four tabs: Connection, SQL Statement, Input Parameters, and Output Parameters. Initially, only the Connection tab is enabled.

3. To define Database Parameters, click Choose a Database to open the Database Definitions dialog box that lists available databases.
You can add, modify, and remove Database definitions.

a. Enter a name in the Database Name box.
b. Select a database type from the Database Type drop-down list. Supported Database types include OpenEdge.
c. Enter the Login User name and Password.
d. Select the Database type to populate data in the JNDI Name field and in the Driver and URL fields in the Non-J2EE Datasource parameters panel. You need to modify this data with the proper database information.
