I am having another head scratching mystery. No matter what I do, no matter the database, no matter the credentials entered and no matter whether the database is local or remote, WO won't connect to the database. I can connect to all databases using Navicat just fine. This only effects my Eclipse and not my deployed apps. Is there another obscure switch in Eclipse?
