Enterprise Manager Java App: Managing Databases - Overview (Superseded)

In BBj 13.00 and higher, the Enterprise Manager Java app has been superseded by a new browser Enterprise Manager and Eclipse plug-in. See Enterprise Manager - Database: Settings.

In BBj, a database is comprised of a single data dictionary and the corresponding data files defining the tables in the data dictionary. Each database is given a different name or "alias" by the administrator, which is used to refer to that database. Only those databases that a user has been granted administrative access to can be accessed by that user when using the Enterprise Manager.

The Enterprise Manager provides an interface for:

  • Configuring databases
  • Creating and modifying database structure and content
  • Executing SQL queries
  • Viewing statistical data for analysis
