Tip | If you are an experienced user and
are sure that the SQL features and syntax used by your database are very similar to a known, supported database, you can select Connect as... from the pop-up menu of an unconnected database, and select the database product that best matches your own. However, this is not recommended, and you should use the Database Explorer with this option only for browsing data, not for modifying it; otherwise, you might lose data. |
