Connection Object Definition
dialog box appears with options appropriate to the selected database platform.
In the Name field, enter TUTORIAL_SOURCE as the name of the database connection.
The Integration Service uses this name as a reference to this database connection.
Enter the user name and password to connect to the database.
Select a code page for the database connection.
The source code page must be a subset of the target code page.
In the Attributes section, enter the database name.
