How Do I: Administer the Default Pointbase Database?

You can administer the default database installed with WebLogic Server (PointBase) using the PointBase administrative console, or any third party database visualization and management tool that can connect via JDBC.

To Launch PointBase Console from the Windows Start Menu

1. Ensure that WebLogic Server is running.

For more information, see How Do I: Start or Stop WebLogic Server?

2. From the Start menu, choose BEA WebLogic Platform 7.0 | WebLogic Workshop | WebLogic Workshop Examples | PointBase Console.

3. When the console starts, you will be prompted to enter connection parameters to properly connect to the database. This connection information is also what you will need if you use a third-party product to access the PointBase database.

- Driver: com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver
