A connection string specifies information about a data source and the means of connecting to it. It is passed in code to an underlying driver or provider in order to initiate the connection. Insight provides an input form for the connection string with the following fields:

• Database type

• Provider name

• Server name

• Database name

• User name

• Password

You can expand the connection string by an additional string. To append a new string to the data already entered, use the following steps:

1. In Studio, on the Documents Tree, open Data sources and select the required data source.

2. In the Property Panel, navigate to Additional string.

3. Enter the required additional connection parameters.

4. Save the changes.
