Utilizing Database Project Settings

Hello,

I recently discovered that there is a Database tab under Project Settings which allows me to test a db connection. I thought to myself “this is great because now I can hide this password and rely on Katalon’s encryption”, except I’m not sure how (or if) I can make use of those settings. I currently use a built-in SQL library, but I’m wondering if I can tell Katalon “connect me to the database using the info you have stored internally” so that I don’t have to pass all of that info into a separate object or keyword, because having to do that makes it seem like the Database setting serves no purpose.

Have you tried the DBMS plugin ?

it looks like what you need

Based on that description I think you may be right. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
