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

No installation required.

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

To configure this module, you need to:

1. 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
