LNDB

The User Name and Password fields are required only if your server
administrator has set up security on your system.

Each time you start the client, you will be prompted to enter this
information. However, you can save the login information by
selecting the Remember username and password check box, or
you can select the Automatically login to this server check box to
skip this window and use the information from the last session.

All information must be saved for the LNDB Engine. The
Remember username and password check box and the
Automatically login to this server check box apply only to the
LNDB Manager.

NOTE

2.3 Selecting a Database

The Select Database dialog box comes up automatically the first time LNDB is
opened once the service is installed and started and the server is selected. At
other times, it can be opened from the File | Select Database menu item or by
double-clicking on the DB Connection Status Label on the Status Bar. LNDB
supports SQL Server Compact, SQL Server, and MySQL databases. Once you
select a database, fill in the necessary information, and click OK, a connection
attempt will be made. If the connection succeeds, the database dialog will be
closed and the connection will be used for the application. If the connection
fails, a message will be shown and the Select Database dialog will continue to
be shown.
