The user needs a way to change the database schema after connecting with "Remember password" checked. To illustrate the need for this feature, do the following: 1. Create a database connection (I'm using an Oracle DB connection, in case that matters) 2. When the "Connect" dialog comes up, enter the username and password and check the "Remember password" checkbox. 3. Pick a schema on the "Advanced" tab. 4. Click "OK" Notice that there is no way to change the schema after connecting with the "Remember password" checkbox. Even disconnecting won't allow this. The user has to end his NetBeans session.
See the workaround in issue 118782. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 118782 ***
Re-opening, it's a slightly different problem than 118782. In 118782, the server changes somehow, and the connection information saved in NetBeans is no longer valid. In this case, the developer wants to change the schema from a drop down, and it's not clear how because you can't get back to the Connect dialog. There are two workarounds. The first way is to uncheck "Remember Password" in the Properties sheet and then connect. The other way is to change the schema in the Properties sheet, rather than in the Connect dialog. This isn't the *best* way, because you don't get a drop-down list of schemas and you have to know what your schema names are. So I'm opening this as a future enhancement where we look to see if there is a better way to do this.
