     • MYSQL Server

     • SQL Server

     • Oracle Server

     This information helps to associate your database account with the corresponding server in your environment.

   • Username: Enter the username used to authenticate. This could be the database administrator username or any user account created for accessing the database.

   • Password: Enter the password corresponding to the username above. This password is used to authenticate and connect to the database.
