Connection string generator #1670

Description

What feature or new tool do you think should be added to DevToys?

A tool that generates ready-to-use connection strings (for pasting into application settings used by EF Core, ADO. NET and others), that adapts to various DBMSes (SQL Server, Postgres, Oracle, etc.)

Why do you think this is needed?

Developers work with various database servers and instances on a daily basis, often needing to switch connection string configurations in their applications multiple times. Sometimes it is tricky to find the correct connection string format for different providers, having to look up the correct way on the internet. Using online tools can (rarely) have the risk of the connection string parameters leaked or stolen as well.

Having the tool built into DevToys allows a safe (offline-first/local) and convenient way to generate connection strings.
