[oXygen-user] Per-project XML database collections?

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

Oxygen does not allow you to save at project level some user preferences 
that are platform dependent. For example the installation paths for the 
library files or driver files of databases are usually platform 
dependent. Also the password that is set for the user name of the 
database connection is encrypted with an algorithm that uses a machine 
dependent key. The key is machine dependent for avoiding security 
problems caused by copying the user preferences to other machine by an 
unauthorized user. The same would be true if the database connection is 
stored in an Oxygen project.

Sorin
