## **Connection Details**

### **Server**

This field should contain the hostname or IP address of the PostgreSQL server. If the database is hosted on the same machine as the client, 'localhost' can be used.

### **Port**

PostgreSQL default port is **`5432`**. This field should match the port configuration of your PostgreSQL server.

### **Username**

Enter the username for the PostgreSQL account that has the necessary privileges to access the database.

### **Password**

The associated password for the given username.

### **Database**

Specify the PostgreSQL database name to which you wish to connect. You can either type the database name directly or use the 'Select' button to choose from a list of available databases, provided the connection details above are correctly filled out and the client can communicate with the server.

### **Encryption**

Indicate whether your connection should be encrypted. If your PostgreSQL server is configured to require SSL connections, select 'Encrypted'; otherwise, select 'Not encrypted'.
