Online Documentation for SQL Manager for PostgreSQL

Setting connection parameters

Use this step of the wizard to set the necessary connection parameters for the new database/host using the corresponding boxes and options: Host name, Port, User name, Password, and Method.

Specify the host you are going to work with: type the host name in the Host name field or select one from the drop-down list.

Enter PostgreSQL port to connect through in the Port field, and provide authorization settings: User name and Password.

Use the Method drop-down list to select the tunneling method: SSH or HTTP.

• SSH tunneling allows you to establish a connection to an intermediate SSH server and forward all PostgreSQL commands through the secure tunnel.
• HTTP tunneling allows access to PostgreSQL server through the HTTP protocol if Internet access is available only through an HTTP proxy, or if the server does not allow direct connections to PostgreSQL, but allows HTTP connections.

Tunneling parameters are configured at the Specifying tunneling parameters step of the wizard.

Register a single database

Check this option if you wish to register only one database on the host.

Click the Next button to proceed to the Setting specific options step or to the Selecting databases step of the wizard, depending on whether the Register a single database option is selected.
