Connect to Your Database

Connect to a saved connection in DBCode with a single click.

Connecting

1. Click the DBCode icon in the Activity Bar to open the DB Explorer

2. Click on a saved connection to connect. You can also right-click and select Connect from the context menu
3. If the connection requires authentication (such as a password), a prompt appears. Enter the credentials to complete the connection

Once connected, a dot appears next to the connection name. Expand the connection to browse schemas, tables, views, and other database objects.

Cancelling a Connection Attempt

While a connection is being established, a Cancel Connection Attempt button appears on the connection. Click it to abandon the attempt, for example when the server is unreachable because a VPN is down, and retry immediately once the network is back. Attempts that receive no response also time out on their own after the connection timeout, so a connection never stays stuck connecting.

Disconnecting

Select a saved connection to reveal the toolbar icons. Click the Disconnect button (the first icon) to end the session. You can also right-click the connection and select Disconnect from the context menu.

Your saved connection settings are retained for future use. Disconnecting only ends the active session.
