What is the databases.txt file?
• The first time you run Sumac on a computer it creates a file named “databases.txt” and puts it into a SumacSettings folder in your user directory. The format of this file is as follows: There is one line in the file for each database that you may want Sumac to connect to. Each line contains two parts separated by a space. The first part defines the database server and name, the second defines the driver that Sumac should use to connect to the database. A typical entry might be something like this: jdbc:mysql://MainServer/CharityDB com.mysql.jdbc.Driver The first part says to connect to a server named “MainServer” and a database named “CharityDB”. The second part tells Sumac which software to use to connect to the database (a class named com.mysql.jdbc.Driver).
