| Database | Name of the database to connect to |
| Schema name | Name of the schema to connect to |
4a. Optionally, if the connection required is TLS/MTLS for MITM protection, follow these additional steps below:
- Click on `SSL & Advanced Parameters`, \
- Select `SSL Mode` and upload the client certificate, client key, and Root CA files by clicking on the file.
\
Note: The entire connection parameters can be viewed in json form by clicking on the "Edit connection JSON" and edited as required by database server type.\
Example: In PostgreSQL with SSL mode set to "Required-Identity," if the server certificate's common name (cname) differs from the actual DNS/IP used for connection, the connection may fail. To resolve this, add a "servername" property with the cname value under the SSL section, along with certificate information. Additional details are available in the Knex configuration options.[knex configuration options](https://knexjs.org/guide/#configuration-options)
5. Click on `Test Database Connection` button to verify the connection
6. Wait for the connection to be verified.
- After connection is successful, `Submit` button will be enabled.
