Connecting to databases

To access data stored in databases and write queries to return data, you must connect to a database.

There are several ways to establish a connection from QMF Visionary. By default, when you launch QMF Visionary, the Select Data Source dialog box prompts you to connect to a data source.

Note: If you want to work offline or do not want to connect to a database each time you launch QMF Visionary, you can disable the automatic connection prompt at login. To disable the prompt, click Tools --> QMF Visionary Options and then clear the Show the Select Data Source dialog when the application starts option.

You can also manually open a connection in QMF Visionary (click File --> Connect). You might want to open another connection during the development of a world to connect to a second or third database and retrieve additional data.
