About connections to the data
The system requires connections for data sources defined as database tables, including lookup tables and profile data stored in tables. The connection provides the path that the engine uses to locate the database that contains the external table. Once you define a connection string, you can associate the connection with one or more data sources.
There are two ways to create connections to the data.
You can define a connection when you define a data source in the Data Sources manager.
You can define connections using the Configuration Utility.
