Creating a connection to Scriptcase

See below how to create a connection in your Scriptcase project, using the enabled Driver and the Oracle database.

2 - Click the New Connection icon to create a connection

or access the Database > New connection menu.

After that, a screen will appear with all database connections.

3 - Select the Amazon RDS connection.
