Define data connections

PUC (Pentaho User Console) and PDI (Pentaho Data Integration) can access data from various sources. If your data source is a database, you must connect to the database before accessing its records. You define database connections in PUC and PDI through the Database Connection dialog box.

Before you can create a connection, the appropriate driver must be installed for your particular data connection. Your IT administrator should be able to install the appropriate driver for you.
