Installation
============

No installation required.

Configuration
=============

To configure this module, you need to:

#. Database sources can be configured in Settings > Technical >
   Database Structure > Data sources.

Usage

* Go to Settings > Technical > Database Structure > Database Sources
* Click on Create to enter the following information:

* Data source name 
* Password
* Connector: Choose the database to which you want to connect
* Connection string: Specify how to connect to database

Known issues / Roadmap
======================

* Find a way to remove or default the CA certs dir
* Add concept of multiple connection strings for one source (multiple nodes)
* Add a ConnectionEnvironment that allows for the reuse of connections
* Message box should be displayed instead of error in ``connection_test``
* Remove old api compatibility layers (v11)
* Instead of returning list of results, we should return iterators. This will
  support larger datasets in a more efficient manner.
* Implement better CRUD handling
