Creating database instances by inheriting from an existing connection
For informational purposes, you can define multiple database instances that point to the same underlying database but are associated with different integration systems. This is optional, and does not affect the behavior of Pega Platform or the underlying database instance. Integration systems make system configuration easier because they are reusable and selectable when creating data types, integration connectors, and databases.

Arrow key and select the name of the database instance from which the new
instance inherits the connection details.Only database instances that do not inherit from an existing connection are available in the list.
