    61. Database/JDBC Connections

    • To use a database connection in your library, provide all the connection details as parameters. This will make your library more flexible and reusable.

    • Specify the connection parameters in the connection details. This will ensure that your library can connect to the database without errors.

    • Store the connection parameters in a library.prm parameter file. This will allow you to set the database connection in the CloverDX Server UI and manage it centrally.

    • Use secure parameters for any sensitive information, such as passwords. This will protect your data from unauthorized access and comply with security best practices.

    • If possible, let users choose the JDBC connection name. This will give them more control over the database connection and avoid conflicts with other connections.
