@Anonymous , servername/server URL should be correct, you will be able to connect , You can leave second one empty

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

when you add a query you need to specify the database. It's also mentioned in parentheses:

When you don't put an SQL statement you don't have to define the database.

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
 
Best regards
Denis
