According the Splunk, if your database not listed in Splunk DB Connect 3, is necessary configure the new database according the link
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.1.2/DeployDBX/Installdatabasedrivers

Was Configurated according this

Driver download and input and the drivers directory
Include in directory local, the file db_connection_types.conf with this configuration

After this, the splunk was restarted and no have any information of this database in my Splunk Db Connect

For undefined/unsupported databases, you'll need to:

Install JDBC driver file.
Add custom database to db_connection_type.conf
example of db_connection_type.conf:
```
[dummy_DB_type]
```
displayName = dummy_DB
serviceClass = com.splunk.dbx2.DefaultDBX2JDBC
jdbcDriverClass = $JDBC driver class$
jdbcUrlFormat = $JDBC URI Format$
ui_default_catalog = $database$

Once you restarted Splunk, you can go configuration -> Connections -> New connection.
dummy_DB should be available in dropdownlist of "Connection Type"
