can't connect to the oracle database

start to use Instant Jchem, but can not connect to the existing oracle database, the behavior was very strange.

Click File -> Connect to Schema, then chose oracle, and type the db conncetion string and username/password, but in the next page, "Pick up schema", the schema showed was from another database. I repeated several times, the db connection string is pointing to a dev database, but the schema showed is "production database name - schema name". Very confused, and dare not to continue.

Hi Qiner, good to talk again!

The name that is presented is the one that was specified when the IJC schema was first created. Maybe the name "production database name - schema name" was specified when the IJC schema was first created, even though it is a DEV database? It you want to double check this look at the IJC_SCHEMA table in the DEV database and look for the row in that table that defines the IJC schema:

select ITEM_VALUE from IJC_SCHEMA where GENERIC_TYPE = 'SCHEMA'

The value(s) returned are the XML that defines the IJC schema that you see in the UI. Look for the 'name' attribute.

Just to be clear, there are 2 options for creating a connection to a DB in IJC:

1. New Schema
- creates a new "IJC schema" where none was previously presnet

2. Connect to schema
- connect to an "IJC schema" that someone else has alrady created using "New Schema"

But it seems that you are using the correct one!

Hi, Tim:

thanks very much for the instruction and clarification. You're right, I am able to find
the schema name from the IJC_SCHEMA table, certainly someone has
already created this schema. I changed its name to reflect the dev
database. Certainly, I was confused the IJC schema with Oracle schema. I
though I was connectnig to an Oracle schema, actually not.
