JDBC Connections Overview
Create a JDBC connection to access data from a database with a JDBC type 4 driver. You can use JDBC connections to specify sources, lookups, and targets in Data Synchronization tasks. When you create a JDBC connection, you enter properties specific to JDBC.
You can create a JDBC connection on the Connections page, or in the Data Synchronization task wizard. The connection then becomes available to the entire organization to use.
