About the Database activity package
Important: The
Database activity package has been made open-source. Feel free
to collaborate on our Github repositories.
The Database activity package enables the user to connect to a database
and perform an entire palette of actions within it, such as
executing transactions or queries and non queries. It can be
used to connect to a large selection of databases, such as
SQL Server
,
Oracle
, DB2
, and others,
either directly or via ODBC / OLE DB.
Note: The OLE DB connectivity method is not
supported on Linux machines.
The Start Transaction activity is a container designed to enable the user to connect to a database, perform multiple actions and then disconnect.
The Connect and Disconnect activities can also be used to connect to a database and consequently disconnect, performing any desired actions with individual connections.
The connection process works based on the usage of a
DatabaseConnection
variable. It is
unique for each database you connect to and, once obtained, it
can be subsequently used throughout your automation project for
connecting to the said database.
Note: Windows projects
require having the 64-bit driver installed on the
machine to establish a database
connection.
