Database

After selecting the desired connection, click the Confirm button to use this connection.

WARNING: The SQL Builder does not parse SQL, only receives the SQL Query informed by the user and executes it. So, if you use PDO drivers, only these are enabled: PDO_DBLIB, PDO_MYSQL, PDO_PGSQL, PDO_SQLITE. If you use a driver other than one of these listed, you may be returned with the “BAD GETCOLUMNMETA()” error in the column titles.
Go to PHP page for more information.
