Chapter 4. Managing data sources


Business Central provides data source management which gives you the ability of defining 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, on the other hand, is used for enabling 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.

Business Central provides a default data source that can can be used but can neither be edited nor deleted.
