The database connector download comes with several pre-installed drivers. See [[#Install_a_JDBC_driver | IInstall a JDBC driver]] below below.

Installation Steps

Throughout this documentation we are using the frevvo-tomcat bundle as the installation location for the database connector. This is just an example as the connector will work under any compatible servlet container. This documentation assumes that the frevvo-tomcat bundle is installed in c:\frevvo. We'll refer to this directory below as <frevvo-home>.

If you have already downloaded the frevvo-tomcat bundle for Live Forms In-house then you already have the database connector. It is located in the unpacked frevvo-tomcat bundle in <frevvo-home>\frevvo\ext\connectors and is named database.zip. If not or if you wish to download the latest version then [http://www.frevvo.com/frevvo/web/download/DB download the database connector] from the from the frevvo web site. You will need to login with your frevvo account

Follow these steps to install the connector:

1) &nbsp;&nbsp; Unpack the database.zip file to a temporary location of your choice: e.g. c:\tmp. This will create a folder c:\tmp\database. We'll refer to this directory below as <db-tmp>

2) &nbsp;&nbsp; Copy <db-tmp>\database.war to <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps*

  • If frevvo is running this will automatically expand database.war into a <frevvo-home>\webapps\database sub folder

3) &nbsp;&nbsp; If frevvo is not running, start frevvo: Double click <frevvo-home>\start-frevvo*

  • This will start frevvo and it will automatically expand database.war into a <frevvo-home>\webapps\database sub folder
