Environments is an Enterprise feature that allows a direct connection to be set up between different live database environments for instant comparison against project revisions.

SqlDBM supports live connections to Snowflake, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Databricks. For these, and all other databases, static DDL import is also supported.

To add your environments, select the "Environments" panel from the left menu.

Select the "+" button to add a new environment.

For supported databases, Direct Connection is the default connection method. You can toggle between direct and static DDL methods using the corresponding icons on the top left of the screen.

Name your environment and select an icon for easy reference.

Click the Continue button and provide the connection details on the next screen.

Click on the database from the list of available databases available for import and choose the desired schema(s).

Your environment is now set up and ready for future reference.

From the Environments screen, select the "+" button to add a new environment.

Click the up icon ("Upload DDL Script") to switch to static DDL mode.

Name your environment and select an icon for easy reference.

Click the Continue button and provide the DDL on the next screen.

Paste your DDL directly into the text box provided or upload from a file using the upload file icon on the bottom right.

Press the "Apply and close" button to finish creating the environment.
