Connection Types

Connection Types

You can use the following connection types to publish and deliver data with an automatic mapping:
  • Relational database. Use this type of connection to publish data from a relational database or to deliver data to a relational database. Relational database connection types use ODBC or native database drivers to access data at run time, and they use JDBC to access metadata at design time.
    When you create a relational database connection, you can choose from the following types:
    • Microsoft SQL Server. Connects to databases though ODBC or through the native database driver.
    • Oracle. Connects to databases through the native database driver.
    • IBM DB2. Connects to databases through the native database driver.
    • PostgreSQL. Connects to databases through ODBC.
    • ODBC. Connects to databases through ODBC. Use this connection type to connect to other relational databases. For example, create an ODBC connection to a MySQL database.
    Before you create an ODBC connection, you must configure the JDBC drivers for the relational database. For more information about configuring the JDBC drivers, see Configuring the JDBC Drivers for an ODBC Connection.
  • HDFS. Use this type of connection to publish data from HDFS and to deliver data to HDFS. A HDFS connection is a file system type connection.
  • File transfer. Use this type of connection to publish data from remote servers and to deliver data to remote servers with file transfer.
    Data Integration Hub
     supports FTP, SFTP, and FTPS as data source and data target connections.
  • Teradata. Use this type of connection to publish data from Teradata and to deliver to Teradata. A Teradata connection is a type of relational database management connection.
