# DatabaseFields

The fields that contain the name of the database in which to store the document. The Content component treats these fields as DatabaseType fields for the documents that you send in the index action.

NOTE: OpenText recommends that you use field configuration to set DatabaseType fields, instead of setting this parameter for a single index action.

Separate multiple fields with commas. There must be no space before or after a comma. You can use wildcards.

When identifying fields use the formats:

- `/FieldName` to match root-level fields

- `*/FieldName` to match all fields except root-level

- `/Path/FieldName` to match fields that the specified path points to.

If you specify only the field name, the Content component automatically adds a `*/` to it.

If the Content configuration file contains a field process that identifies a field from which Content can read the file destination database, the `DatabaseFields` index action parameter overrides the configuration.

If the Content configuration file does not contain a field process that identifies the document destination database, you must specify either DREDbName or `DatabaseFields`.

Actions: | DREADD DREADDDATA
Type: | String
Default: |
Example: | `DatabaseFields=Document/DREDBName,*/myDB` In this example, Content indexes the document into the database whose name is contained in any DREDbName field below the `Document` level and whose name is contained in any fields called `myDB`.
