You can import database connection and filter information that
has been exported to a text file.
To import database connection information:
- In the Data Source Explorer, click Import.
- In the window that opens, browse to a text file containing connection
profile information that was previously exported and saved on the local file
system.
- Optional: Click Overwrite Existing Connection
Profiles with Same Names. You should only select this
option if there are no connections in the Data Source Explorer with the same
name as connection profiles that you are importing.
- Click OK.
The connections that you imported are displayed in the Data Source
Explorer in the appropriate category folders.
