Settings

What the connection form asks for. Every connection has a Staging side, which it needs, and an optional Production side with values of its own; both ask for the same settings.

Database 
EncryptionManaged services (Amazon RDS and Aurora, Cloud SQL, Azure Database) accept verify-full with no extra setup. Use require for a server with a self-signed certificate. Choices: Require encryption; Require encryption, verify certificate and hostname; Require encryption, verify certificate; Encrypt if the server offers it; No encryption.
Sign in withChoices: SQL Server login.
UsernameShown when Sign in with is SQL Server login.
PasswordShown when Sign in with is SQL Server login. Stored encrypted, and never shown again after you save it.

Testing the connection

Test connects, signs in with the SQL Server login and runs SELECT 1, giving up after 10 seconds.

Good to know

  • If the server sends the sign-in on to another address, as Azure SQL does under its Redirect connection policy, Trinium follows it once.
  • Encryption has five settings, from no encryption to verifying the certificate and the hostname.
  • A query's columns show in the builder without running it.
