Edit or delete a database connection



When you create a database connection, Dreamweaver stores the connection information in an include file in the Connections subfolder in the site’s local root folder. You can edit or delete the connection information in the file manually or as follows.

Edit a connection

  1. Open a PHP page in Dreamweaver, and then open the Databases panel (Window > Databases).
  2. Right-click (Windows) or Control‑click (Macintosh) the connection and select Edit Connection from the menu.
  3. Edit the connection information and click OK.

    Dreamweaver updates the include file, which updates all the pages in the site that use the connection.

Delete a connection

  1. Open a PHP page in Dreamweaver, and then open the Databases panel (Window > Databases).
  2. Right-click (Windows) or Control‑click (Macintosh) the connection and select Delete Connection from the menu.
  3. In the dialog box that appears, confirm that you want to delete the connection.
    Note: To avoid getting errors after deleting a connection, update every recordset that uses the old connection by double-clicking the name of the recordset in the Bindings panel and selecting a new connection in the Recordset dialog box.
