Usage from the Zope ZMI

The database connection object can be manipulated in the Zope ZMI on a series of screens, accessible through named tabs in the main window.

Status

Shows the database connection status and allows the user to open or close the connection.

Properties

Edit the database connection attributes and apply any changes.

Test

The Test tab can be used as long as the database connection is connected. You can enter SQL statements into the text field and view the results sent back from the database.

Security

Change the Zope role to permission mappings here.

Undo

If your particular ZODB flavor supports it, you can undo Zope transactions affecting the database connector object here. These transactions don’t reflect relational database transactions in the underlying MySQL or MariaDB databases, only ZODB transactions.

Ownership

Information about the Zope user who owns the database connector object. Ownership in the Zope sense confers additional rights.

Interfaces

View and change the Zope Interface assignments for the database connector object.

Browse

You can browse the database tables and columns from the relational database specified in the connection string.
