Register Terracotta DB connections
You can configure a connection to the Terracotta DB server. The alias is used to refer to that specific connection.
By having a connection to the Terracotta DB server configured, the dashboard developer can access all datasets available on that server. The datasets are provided in the corresponding Terracotta DB source operator. The alias is unique with respect to all Terracotta DB connections. Different connections can point to the same Terracotta DB server.
