Which tool is used to manage Sitecore database connections?

The Connection String Manager is the tool specifically designed for managing Sitecore database connections. This tool allows developers and administrators to configure and manage the connection strings that Sitecore uses to connect to its databases, including the master, core, and web databases. By utilizing the Connection String Manager, users can easily view, edit, and manage various properties of these connections, ensuring that Sitecore can interact seamlessly with the underlying databases.

While other tools mentioned may serve various functions within Sitecore, they do not focus specifically on managing database connections. For instance, the Sitecore Command Line Interface is primarily used for automating tasks and managing Sitecore projects via command-line commands rather than for direct database connection management. The Sitecore Admin Panel provides an interface for various administrative functions, but it does not offer the specific capabilities for configuring connections like the Connection String Manager does. Similarly, the Sitecore Database Scoreboard is more about monitoring database performance rather than managing the connections themselves.
