Connection Provider Format

Most connection providers have type inline, and specify a JDBC URL with optional username and password.

Wherever different connection information is needed, a different object type must be specified.

See the examples below:

"connectionProvider": {
    "type": "inline",
    "url": "jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:1521/dev",
    "username": "developmentUsername",
    "password": "developmentPassword"
}

"connectionProvider": {
    "type": "inline",
    "url": "jdbc:sqlserver://MY-SERVER;instanceName=MY-INSTANCE;databaseName=dev;integratedSecurity=true"
}

"connectionProvider": {
    "type": "azureActiveDirectoryInteractive",
    "url": "jdbc:sqlserver://myserver.database.windows.net;databaseName=dev;authentication=ActiveDirectoryInteractive",
    "tenantId": "555edc21-daac-4415-826c-ce65e860b37d",
