| 1 | +<h3>Create a New Oracle Connection</h3> |
| 2 | +This dialog allows you to define the settings for a connection to a Oracle database. |
| 3 | +<p> |
| 4 | +<ul> |
| 5 | +<li> <label>Name</label> A name to identify the connection settings. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +<li> <label>Database</label> SID or SERVICE_NAME of the Oracle instance. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +<li> <label>Host</label> Name or IP address of the computer hosting the database server |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +<li> <label>Port</label> IP port used by the database server |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +<li> <label>Username</label> Database user name. |
| 14 | +<li> <label>Password</label> Database password. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +<li> <label>Save Username</label> Indicates whether to save the database user name in the connection configuration. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +<li> <label>Save Password</label> Indicates whether to save the database password in the connection settings. <font color="red">Passwords are saved in <strong>clear text</strong> in the system configuration and in the project files!</font> |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +<li> <label>Only look in meta data table</label> Restricts the displayed tables to those that are in the all_sdo_geom_metadata view. This can speed up the initial display of spatial tables. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +<li> <label>Only look for user's tables</label> When searching for spatial tables restrict the search to tables that are owner by the user. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +<li> <label>Also list tables with no geometry</label> Indicates that tables without geometry should also be listed by default. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +<li> <label>Use estimated table statistics for the layer metadata</label> When |
| 27 | +the layer is setup various metadata is required for the Oracle table. This |
| 28 | +includes information such as the table row count, geometry type and spatial |
| 29 | +extents of the data in the geometry column. If the table contains a large |
| 30 | +number of rows determining this metadata is time consuming. By activating this |
| 31 | +option the following fast table metadata operations are done: Row count is |
| 32 | +determined from all_tables.num_rows. Table extents are always determined with |
| 33 | +the SDO_TUNE.EXTENTS_OF function even if a layer filter is applied. The table |
| 34 | +geometry is determined from the first 100 non-null geometry rows in the table. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +</ul> |
