Add Named Database Connection: Named Connections store (in a central location) authentication information associated with a user.
For information about setting up and using named connections, please see:
The host name of the MS SQL Server. (It is not necessary to specify a port if a default configuration is used.)
If you have configured your Microsoft SQL Server database to use a non-standard port number, you can specify this port here.
The correct syntax is:
<Host Name or IP>,<port>
The name of the database to access.
Enter the username and password to access the database, user account, or wherever authentication is required.
The time, in seconds, after which to terminate a query to the database if it has not yet returned a result. If set to zero, there is no timeout. The default is 30.
When connecting through a Windows user account, the database can validate the account name and password using the Windows principal token in the operating system.
The user identity is confirmed by Windows, so if this checkbox is selected, the Username and Password parameters are ignored.
Note: This parameter is not present in the Azure SQL Database reader and writer. The Azure SQL Database reader and writer will always request Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypted connections.
When selected, this parameter requests Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption for the connection. If the server does not have a certificate trusted by the client machine, the connection will fail. Otherwise, data will be encrypted before traveling over the network. There are multiple ways to trust a server certificate on a client machine.
If this parameter is not selected, encryption behavior will be determined by encryption properties set for SQL Server Native Client, and for SQL Server.
Tip: When Encrypt Connection is selected, please provide a fully qualified Server name. For example, a server named safe-sql-server might have a fully qualified name of safe-sql-server.dev.safe. This fully qualified name should be an exact match for the server name on the trusted certificate.
Enter (or browse for) the name(s) of specific database table(s) to extract.
This optional specification is used to limit the rows read by the reader from each table. This example selects only the features whose lengths are more than 2000:
LENGTH > 2000
This parameter exposes Format Attributes in Workbench when you create a workspace:
Using the minimum and maximum x and y parameters, define a bounding box that will be used to filter the input features. Only features that interact with the bounding box are returned.
If all four coordinates of the search envelope are specified as 0, the search envelope will be disabled.
Select this option to remove any portions of exported features outside the area of interest.
