For the first connection you have to provide the database protocol – currently only Postgres is supported. For a connection although the host, the database name, the port and the port must be provided. The user name for the database currently must be ocad11 as mentioned in the setup selection and a Password.

For the project user you must provide the data as inserted during the installation for the user name and the password. When you are connected the currently database projects get loaded and your userident (e.g. Illustration 1: connection and project settings the userident is 5002). In the current development stage none of the provided settings are saved! The hard coded default settings shown above. The database password is ocaddb.

The “auto reload changes” re-fetches all loaded objects when they changed in the db.
