External Database Sources
This module allows you to define connections to foreign databases using ODBC, Firebird, Oracle Client or SQLAlchemy.
Installation
No installation required.
Configuration
Database sources can be configured in Settings > Configuration -> Data sources.
Usage
To use this module:
- Go to Settings > Database Structure > Database Sources
- Click on Create to enter the following information:
- Data source name
- Password
- Connector: Choose the database to which you want to connect
- Connection string: Specify how to connect to database
To extend this module:
Known issues / Roadmap
- Find a way to remove or default the CA certs dir
- Add concept of multiple connection strings for one source (multiple nodes)
- Add a ConnectionEnvironment that allows for the reuse of connections
- Message box should be displayed instead of error in connection_test
- Remove old api compatibility layers (v11)
- Instead of returning list of results, we should return iterators. This will support larger datasets in a more efficient manner.
- Implement better CRUD handling
