Manage Database Connections
You can copy, edit, or delete database connections from the Relational Migrator Connections page. Saved connections are listed by their environment tag. You can mouse over the icon for a connection to see a list of projects that use that connection.
Copy a Connection
You can copy an existing connection. This can be useful if you want multiple connections to the same server that each connect to different databases, or if you have similar connection information for a staging database and a production database.
Copying a connection creates a duplicate with -Copy appended to the
connection name.
Steps
To copy a connection:
Click the button.
Make any desired changes.
Click Save.
Edit a Connection
You can edit an existing connection to change any settings except for the database type. This can be useful for:
Renaming the connection
Adding changing, or removing the Environment tag
Changing authentication credentials or SSL settings
Steps
To edit a connection:
Click the button.
Make any desired changes, such as renaming the connection or changing the database.
Click Save.
Delete a Connection
You can delete a connection that you no longer need. Deleting a relational database connection causes any projects using that connection to fall back to Relational Migrator's last copy of the database contents. Mapping rules remain in place.
Steps
To delete a connection:
Click the button.
A warning dialog displays and lists any projects that use the connection.
Click Delete to confirm.
