Connection Selector and Connection Group Selector

The connection selector lets you select the connection the database structure will be displayed for.

The connection group selector can be used if you too many connections setup and want to group them by certain criteria. If you select a connection group only the connections belonging to the group are available in the connection selector.

The current state of a connection is shown as a colored diamond in the connection icon.

The icons and their meanings:
The connection has a valid driver but is currently closed.
The connection is currently open.
The connection has no valid driver.
