Dialog when disconnecting from a database session
See for example the dialog above, when using Disconnect in a database session. If you want to reset your choice, you can go to this page in the Preferences. The different DSA dialogs are listed per category and a (somewhat cryptic) description. A checked box next to the name of the dialog means it's currently shown, an empty box means the dialog is not shown.
