# DefaultDatabaseName

The name of the IDOL database to index a document into when the `DREDBNAME` field is not set.

`DREDBNAME` is a document field that specifies the name of the IDOL database to index a document into. When you retrieve information from a repository using a connector, the connector sets the value of this field to the value of its `IndexDatabase` configuration parameter.

However, if a connector does not set the `DREDBNAME` field or you are indexing documents that did not originate from a connector, you can set this parameter to specify the default database to index documents into.

If neither `DefaultDatabaseName` or `DREDBNAME` is set, indexing for the document fails.
