The Database Settings dialog shows the current information about the name, location, connection parameters, and project associations of the component model database, if defined, and lets you make changes to these settings. This dialog appears when you select .
Settings appear on three tabs: Database information, Connection information, and Projects.
The following fields are available:

The table lists the projects in your workspace. Projects with a check mark are associated with the model database, meaning that components created in those projects are stored in the database.

| Apply | To save the current database settings and keep the Preferences dialog open. | |
