#7.9The connection dialog

File → New connection… opens a dialog for describing a connection profile:

  • Connection Name and a colour chip (six preset colours) used to identify it visually.
  • Connection Type — Service Name, SID, or a full TNS String (paste a (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=…)) descriptor).
  • Host, Port, and the service/SID value.
  • Username and Password.
  • Environment — Development, Testing, Staging or Production. This value colours the status bar’s leftmost segment: production turns it red, staging amber, testing blue, development green. It is a visual safety rail — glance at the bottom-left before you run something destructive.
  • Test Connection verifies the settings and reports success or failure without leaving the dialog.
