[!INCLUDESQL Server Azure SQL Database Synapse Analytics PDW]
Use this tab to view or specify options when connecting to an instance of [!INCLUDEmsCoName] [!INCLUDEssDEnoversion] or registering [!INCLUDEssDE] in Registered Servers. Connect and Options only appear in this dialog box when connecting to an instance of the [!INCLUDEssDE]. Test and Save only appear in this dialog box when registering [!INCLUDEssDE].
Connect to database
Select a database to connect to from the list. If you select <default>, you connect to the default database for the server. If you select <Browse server>, you can browse the server for the database to which to connect.
When connecting to an instance of the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Database Engine through [!INCLUDEssSDSfull], you must use [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Authentication and specify a database in the Connect to Server dialog box, on the Connection Properties tab. Ensure that you select the Encrypt connection checkbox.
By default, [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] connects to master. When connecting to [!INCLUDEssSDS], if you specify a user database, you only see that database and its objects in Object Explorer. If you connect to master, you can see all databases. For more information, see the Microsoft Azure SQL Database Overview.
