第4章 Data source management

Business Central provides data source management features that enable you to define data sources for accessing a database. These data sources are then used by other Business Central components such as the data sets. A database driver enables communication between a data source and the targeted database.

From the Data Source Authoring page you can add data sources and database drivers to Business Central.

注記

Business Central provides a default data source that can be used but cannot be edited or deleted.
