This page allows you to enter parameters which this application will use to connect to a database on your system or network. These are the five required arguments for the connect() method: 
Object.connect(Type,Identifier,User,Password,Database);
Objects created with DBPool() may take additional arguments. See the documentation to learn how to use this in your JavaScript Applications.
