You can refresh, reconnect, disconnect, and delete your database
connection profiles. You can also view and edit the properties of a database
connection profile.
Testing a database connection
You can test a database connection from the Data Source Explorer
view to ensure that the properties and user authorization for the connection
are valid.
Sharing database connection information
You can use the toolbar buttons in the Data Source Explorer to
import and export database connection and filter information from a file.
This feature is useful if you are reusing connection information in more than
one data project, or if you are working in a team environment and you want
to share connection resources among team members.
