You can change the port before making a connection.  You can select multiple schemas from the available options in the Schema dropdown.  You can select multiple tables from the available options in the Select Tables dropdown.  The selection of schema is optional. If you do not select any schema, all tables in all the schemas are populated in the Select Table dropdown.  After you enter the Database name, the Select Schema dropdown and Select Tables dropdown are populated with a list of all available schemas and tables respectively.
