Note: This option is available only for Oracle and SQL Server.
Database Authentication
Specifies the User Name and Password for the connection.
Lets you specify the parameters and variables to use for your target server.
Note: Since the parameters and variables vary depending on your target server, see the Database Connection Parameters for database-specific information.
You connect to the selected target DBMS and the connection dialog closes. You remain connected until you click the Disconnect button on the Connection dialog.
