IMPORTANT
Connection will persist the dropped table(s), table relationships, data filters, data configuration to widgets, unless the schema is different from the previous data connection. i.e., the connected database should have similar schema like the database connected in sydx, which may exist in same or different location. If the connected one don’t have a column that is available in previous one, connection will just ignore that column and its related settings alone and persist others. Beyond that level, connection will drop previous settings entirely.
NOTE
On-demand connection string feature is provided for all server types.
