Create a local not shareable SQLite database

Create a local SQLite database if the data should only be accessible by you. PLA 3.0 creates the database in your Microsoft Windows home directory.

Procedure

  1. In the Login dialog, select Tools > Database management.
  2. In the Manage database connection profiles dialog, select Add....
  3. In the Database connection management wizard, select the Express mode option.
  4. Select Next >.
  5. Under Database, enter a name for the new database.
  6. Under Administrator, enter the credentials you want to use for the PLA 3.0 administrator account.
    1. The default user name is 'Administrator.' You can change the name if required.

    If you keep the default credentials, the PLA 3.0 administrator is created as 'Administrator' without a password.

    Important: If you change the default credentials, we recommend you keep your credentials in a safe place. They are required to manage the database and the user accounts, and we cannot restore them as they are not known to us.
  7. Select Finish.
    Result: An information dialog informs you as soon as the database and the corresponding connection are successfully created.
