Connect to a database

Every engine uses the same flow: + New Connection -> pick a type -> fill the form -> Test -> Save, with fields that match that engine. New databases follow the same flow as they are added.

The Test button validates your credentials and reachability before you save. A green Connected badge means you are good to go.
