If your DTP distribution includes an embedded database server, the database connections page allows you to connect to either the default embedded database or an external database. To connect to an external database, make sure that your database meets the requirements described in System Requirements.

1. Choose Settings> Database
2. If you are switching to the embedded database, click Check to verify that DTP can connect.
3. Enable the External Database Connection Type to switch to the standard DTP database configuration view.
   
4. Click Save and restart the DTP service (see Starting DTP Services).

You can create a new database connection or change existing connections.
