How to Add/Manage Database connection using SDB Explorer?

We learnt that entering database connection settings again and again on "Upload MYSql data" panel was the pain point so we added an option to user where he can save connection settings and use saved connection profiles to connect on "Upload MYSql Data" panel.

  8. Enter Port Number. Default port is 3306.

  11. After successfully connection, you can save your profile by clicking on "Save" button.
  12. It will ask you to save profile "With Password" or "Without Password" to protect your "Database Password" from malicious access.
