Connection types control how CloudBeaver behaves when working with a database. They help define environment-specific behavior, such as:

• autocommit mode
• background color for easy environment recognition

You can assign a connection type when creating or editing a connection. Connection type colors appear in the Connections.

Important: Connection types define the default behavior for all connections that use them. In particular, autocommit mode is inherited from the connection type unless you explicitly change the transaction mode for the active connection.
