[news.eclipse.birt] Re: BIRT 2.3.1 using connection profile, no SQB

["Linda Chan" <lchan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Using the Data Source Explorer view to create a postgres connection profile 
would work, but not really required.
Alternatively,
>>> 1 -  create a new datasource
>>> 2 -  choose the radial for create connection from connection profile
>>> 3 -  Select next, then new.
>>> 4a -  In the "Create a Connection Profile Store" dialog, select "New..." 
>>> button
        4b - In the "New Connection Profile" dialog, select PostgreSQL, 
press Next to specify your JDBC driver definition and connection profile 
properties.  Press Finish.
        4c - The connection profile that you just created is now added to 
the check box list.  Select the checkbox of that profile.
>>> 5 -  Put in a file name, such as c:/tmp/myprof
>>> 6 -  Finish
