- database_access -
- file_extension - The file extension for all EA models is 'eap'.
However, if connecting to a real database, for instance MySQL, there is no EA file. But the connection details for that connection must be stored somewhere.
This should be done in configuration files like 'mymodel.mysql.eap' which should contain this information.
This property should hold the second-last fragment of the file-extension, 'mysql' in the example above.
Default is no extension, i.e. the eap-files are directly loaded.
