Continuing the discussion from Using Global Environment Variables:
The doc above does not show the error that occurs in DB Manager UI, after the above process.
It has been asked and answered here: $ENV Global Variable not work in DB Connection
So, if DB manager does not support ENV variables, when the DB manager connection is created automatically, it should use the values of those ENV variables as set in Globals settings as per the current target. It can anyways have only 1 set of values, so current target’s values make sense rather than building a feature that creates errors in the system.
Ideally, it should also look for the values of these ENV variables in .env files, rather than just Globals.
Lastly, the doc should clearly state hwo the DB manager will work when ENV variables are used while creating a new connection in Globals.
