Backing up your connections in SQLDeveloper Extension for VSCode

This is a very quick note concerning database connections in SQLDeveloper Extension for VSCode on MacOS. All your connection details are stored in $HOME/.dbtools. That includes both the folder structure as well as the connections themselves. Which connections I hear you ask? The ones in the top-left corner of the screen, as you can see in this screenshot.

You can easily save these using standard operating system commands, something definitely worth doing. Don’t ask why I know.

On Windows, you find the connection settings in %APPDATA%\Roaming\DBTools by the way. Be careful with these directories đŸ˜€
