I'm working with NetBeans IDE 3.5 on Windows XP. I have PointBase4.6 on my machine. I copied the jar files pbembedded46.jar and pbclient46.jar to \lib\ext directory. When I was trying to test driver in the Run Time tab of the IDE, I'm getting the following error : Unable to perform action, Database SAMPLE does not exist or cannot be found in database home \pointbase\databases specified either specify database.home=<folder> in pointbase.ini or use the <URL>;database.home=<folder> to indicate the database folder. pointbase.ini should be available in the current folder or you can specify the location for pointbase.ini with java -D:property=value where "property" is pointbase.ini and value is <path>pointbase.ini Can you please tell me where I have to put this pointbase.ini file to work without errors. I tried the Help topics of the IDE to Install the Driver and Test the Driver. But, I'm getting the above said error. Thank you.
This is not Database Explorer issue but problem with location of your instalation. You need to let the JDBC driver know where is the database placed. As the error message says you can specify your database home in the database URL or start NetBeans with -J-D:property=value where "property" is pointbase.ini and value is <path>pointbase.ini. For more info see your PointBase documentation.
