Not sure if you can change where that goes to off the top of my head. What you could do is just copy your database connection files to a folder somewhere (e.g. C:\Data\Database Connections\GeoStore.sde) and reference that filepath.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 25 Sep 2014 09:29:41 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/can-the-quot-database-connections-quot-default/m-p/558277#M43633 ShaunWeston1 2014-09-25T09:29:41Z
