Upgrade database type
In the General tab of the Database Instance Editor, the database connection type
specifies the type of database that the database instance represents, for example,
Oracle 8.0 or IBM DB2 UDB 7. This setting ensures that the appropriate default
VLDB properties are used for the database type. The settings are read from the
Database.PDS file supplied by MicroStrategy. This file is located in the
MicroStrategy common files folder, which by default is
C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroStrategy
