If MySQL is chosen as the connection type, the following configuration step will present options specifically tailored to MySQL settings.
- Server Name: This is a text field that allows users to input the hostname of the MySQL server to which they want to establish a connection.
- User Name: This is a text field that allows users to input their authentication username for accessing the specified server.
- Password: This is a text field that allows users to input the password associated with the provided username.
- Unlike a standard text field, this field masks the text input by displaying dots instead of actual characters.
- Database Name: This is a single-select dropdown field that displays the list of databases associated with the specified server. It allows users to select the specific database to which they want to establish a connection.
- Save Password: This is a checkbox which, if selected, allows users to save the entered password for future connections.
- Connect: This button allows users to connect to the database, using the provided credentials and settings.
- Back: This button allows users to navigate back to the previous step in the connection configuration process.
- This action will return users to the initial step of the process.
- Finish: This button allows users to finalize the connection configuration process.
- If selected, the database connection will be created, saved, and recorded in the Connections tab.
- Exit: This button allows users to exit the configuration process and close the window.
