Database Connection
Connections store authentication information. For general information about sharing database connections, please see Using Database Connections.
Note that different subsets of the Database Connection parameters below are made available in different contexts.
Connection
This parameter specifies a database connection for the reader through a drop-down menu. The Add Database Connection option in the menu allows you to create a new connection. The connection requires a name that describes the connection.
Note: The following characters are not allowed in connection names: ^ \ / : * ? " < > | & = ' + % #
The new connection can be made visible only to the current user, or can be shared among multiple users.
