Specify a Connection String

• Jan 08, 2026

This page allows you to specify connection string parameters specific to the selected data source provider.

Next, specify the connection options required for the selected provider type (e.g., authentication type and database name).

Click Next to proceed to one of the next wizard pages, depending on whether or not the created connection uses server authentication.

• Save the Connection String - if server authentication is required, this page allows you to specify whether or not to save user credentials along with the connection string.
• Customize the Query - if server authentication is not required, proceed to constructing the query.
