Description rptmaestro 2007-10-22 16:34:29 UTC 
Currently the database explorer shows connection nodes with the entire connection string as the node's display text. It
would be useful to have this display text customizable so that the user can provide a more friendly name.

For example instead of showing

    + [icon] jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:pfd_local [pfd_db_user on PFD_APP_USER]
    + [icon] jdbc:oracle:thin:@somehostname:1521:pfd_dev [pfd_db_user on PFD_APP_USER]
    + [icon] jdbc:oracle:thin:@somehostname:1523:pfd_prod [pfd_db_user on PFD_APP_USER]
    + [icon] jdbc:oracle:thin:@somehostname:1525:pfd_test [pfd_db_user on PFD_APP_USER]

It could show something more abbreviated, like

    + [icon] PFD (Local)
    + [icon] PFD (Dev)
    + [icon] PFD (Prod)
    + [icon] PFD (Test)
Comment 1 rptmaestro 2007-10-22 16:37:34 UTC 
The database connection string could be displayed in the rollover text. Currently the rollover text only shows "Database
Connection", which isn't very useful.
