Target and source connections
Connections provide access to data in the cloud and in on-premise databases and flat files. They specify the location of sources and targets that are included in an Azure data sync task. Create connections for each Microsoft Azure data warehouse target and for each source that you want to read data from.
You can create target connections to Microsoft Azure data warehouses.
By default, you can create source connections to the following types of sources:
- •Flat file
- •Microsoft SQL Server
- •Netezza
- •ODBC
- •Oracle
- •Teradata
If you need to create connections to other source types, install an add-on connector. Install add-on connectors through the Add-On Connectors page in Administrator. For more information about installing add-on connectors, see the Administrator help.
