Eirik Bakke commented on NETBEANS-2196:
---------------------------------------
Beware of the difference between a database and a schema--on some backends, you
can't login without specifying a database (PostgreSQL I believe), and I'm not
sure it's possible to retrieve a list of databases (though you can retrieve a
list of schemas within a database, which is shown on the next wizard page). The
"database" field is something which becomes part of the JDBC URL, which you
need in order to connect in the first place.

> To make it clear, it is not that I don't like the Database field above the
> user credentials, it is that it doesn't make sense for a specific context,
> which will be handled in an other ticket. First I will choose the connection:
> localhost + port. This is the first one. There is no login, so I don't know
> the available databases. Now I want to add my credentials and after it, I
> want to choose my database which can be known by asking the server to fetch
> the databases to make it visible inside of the auto completion combo box
> which is common these days to have this if you have a lot of entries.
> So this ticket is only to moving the field Databases below the credentials
> because of a new feature coming later. It doesn't make sense to add the
> database name, before filling all the credentials first. You can't see
> databases if you not logged into phpmyadmin for example.
