Do not require database to make a connection
*Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm always frustrated when i try to make a connection and cannot remmeber the any of the database name on the server
Describe the solution you'd like Make the database not a required field, if you test connection without the database it still works.
Describe alternatives you've considered i have tried mssql, apexsql, vscode-database extension all do not require a database name to save the connection.
i love this extension it is just that stuff that is bugging me as i tend to forget the database name as they tend to be long
thanks
What I find bizarre is that, at least with the MySQL driver, a database name is required to create the connection, but that connection isn't actually restricted to that database. When I expand the new connection in the CONNECTIONS view, I see every database listed underneath it. This makes requiring the database name not only unnecessary but misleading.
