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:
Note: The source and destination dataset must be set to the database name.
This specifies the machine running the PostGIS/PostgreSQL ORDBMS as either an IP address or host name. The database must have proper permissions and be set up to accept TCP/IP connections if connecting from a remote machine.
When connecting remotely, this specifies the TCP/IP port on which to connect to the ORDBMS service. The default port is 5432.
This specifies the name of the PostGIS-enabled PostgreSQL database. The database must exist in the ORDBMS.
Enter the username and password to access the database, user account, or wherever authentication is required.
Select either geography or geometry columns for the table.
Enter a name for the table.
This setting applies at generation time, not at translation time. The default setting of "no" indicates that you want to create geometrically constrained geometry columns on the destination tables. For example, a POINT geometry table would be restricted only to points. Now you have the option to create generic or non-constrained geometry column types.
Effectively this means you can insert multiple geometry types into one table. Specifically the geometry column is created to have the generic type GEOMETRY and there are no constraints placed on the geometry types allowed.
If set to Yes, changes the case of attribute names to lowercase.
