: To connect to the sample database in PO7,
: 1. Startup the database from PO7 (you may use SQLDBA or DBManager)
: 2. From PB4.0, in preferences, set DBMS to OR7, userid to 'system',
: password to 'manager' (you may want to create a profile later on)

Note that the above will not work with PB4 Desktop since the native Oracle drivers will not be available. I don't know wheter it works with ODBC or not, but my guess would be no.
