Percona connection helps you connect to a **Percona database** and run queries directly from Infoveave.



## Adding a Percona Connection

To create a new Percona connection:
<Steps>
1. Go to the **Database** section.
2. Select **Percona** from the available connectors.
3. Fill in the required connection details in the **New Percona Connection** form.
</Steps>


## Connection Parameters

When setting up a Percona connection, you need to provide the following details:

| Field      | Description |
|------------|-------------|
| **Name**   | A unique name to identify your connection. |
| **Port**   | Port number for Percona (default is `3306`). |
| **Server** | The Percona server endpoint. |
| **Username** | Your Percona database username. |
| **Password** | The corresponding password for the username. |
| **Database** | The Percona database you want to connect to. |
| **Schema** | The schema inside the database to be used (optional). |



## Steps to Validate and Save
<Steps>
1. After filling in the details, click **Validate** to verify the connection.  
2. If validation succeeds, click **Save** to store the connection.  
3. You can now use Percona as a datasource in your Infoveave workspace.  
</Steps>
