when you have to work on severall projects simultanously ( some in maintance, some in test, some in developement ) it is uncomfortable to find the right connection, because the interesting part (= the schema-name) of the jdbc-url is located on the right end of the string. So it would save lots of scrolling if it would be possible to give short nicknames to connections like : D_PetStore, Q_PetStore, P_PetStore, D_Hotels, Q_Customers, ..... which will be shown in the tree instead of the jdbc-url. If someone wants to categorize his connections like Production, Test, Developement, this could be done by prepending the db_name with a letter of choice. But then NetBeans will must sort the items in the tree alphabetically.
Fixed. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 144112 ***
