Database Connectors (flexsim.com)

Database Address: An IP address or fully qualified domain name of the server where your database is hosted.

Database Name: You should have some way to access your database engine, whether than is via a command line, a software utility, or a webapp. Once you've accessed your DB's interface, you'll be able to see what databases are hosted on that server. These will be named. This Database Name field lets you specify exactly which database you're going to query against.

Login ID: A database engine can have multiple users, each with their own set of permissions. The Login ID specifies a username with read (and perhaps write, depending on your needs) access to the database specified by Database Name.

You may want to go through the exercise of installing and using a database for a bit to get a feel for the basics. You should be able to find numerous beginners guides online.
