Configure Postal Address Database

The postal address database requires specifying how to reach the database server as part of the configuration. The expert-mode Configuration dialog provides the controls for specifying:

• the location of the Java archive (jar) file containing the Java DataBase Connection (JDBC) driver for the brand of database to be accessed (Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, etc.).
• the JDBC URL specifying the database vendor and parameters for accessing the database (host name or IP address, database name, etc.)
• any additional driver-specific parameters needed to access the database, such as a username and password for authentication.
