Description:
if i remove a connections that was previously in use in admin "server instances" this is not detected either at the time of removal or when server instance is opened.

Or if new with product I can create a server instance with no connection. This shouldn't "work"

How to repeat:
Open product with no connections and create server instance

Remove connection.

Suggested fix:
Don't start a server instance if not connection is defined. Just warn.
"Can't open the current server instance because it lacks a MySQL Connections.
Please create a connection if needed and then open manage server instances and select a connection.

Also warn if user closes w/o selecting a connection.
