The gateway to connecting to your Cloud Data Warehouse
Existing DataSources are shown alphabetically based on their Name, which you control. The DataSource name becomes the first property of every CFSQL call.
The Type field is where you specify the vendor of your Cloud Data Warehouse. Any given ClearFactr model can support connections to any number of CDWs simultaneously.
The Auth Type offers two choices: Username/Password, and OAuth. Choose the one that matches the authentication method corresponding to your credentials. As the example shows, you can have multiple DataSources within a single vendor. These are simply differentiated by the credential fields:
Note the '?' button to the left of the Password/Secret field. You can use this to temporarily reveal the value.
Copy/Pasting into these credentials fields is encouraged and they are always case-sensitive.
The Comments field can be used to further describe the DataSource, allowing you to keep the names shorter.
