Managing connection sessionsUltimate

Last modified: 08 March 2021

Connection is a physical communication channel. Session is a state of information exchange. A single connection can have multiple sessions. When you connect to the database server with the client application, the two sides establish a session to exchange information.

In the Services tool window, you can view data sources (1), connection sessions (2), and attached files (3). The small green light indicates that interaction with a data source is active.

The Services tool window automatically pops up when you run something related to a service (for example, run a query). Alternatively, to open the Services tool window, click View | Tool Windows | Services. For more information about the Services tool window, see the Services tool window topic.
