After you deploy, define the connection to your data store from the API Server administration console. The API Server supports connecting to relational databases, file stores, and back-end services such as other APIs. Any JDBC driver or ADO.NET provider can supply connectivity to the underlying data source.

However, many are already installed. To connect, follow the steps below:

1. Click Settings -> Connections and click Add Connection.
2. Enter a name for your connection and select the database type.
3. Enter authentication values and other connection properties.

Connecting to Other Data Stores

If the API Server does not already ship a driver for your data source, see the following sections.

.NET Edition

After you install the ADO.NET provider for your data source, you can select the data source under the section Application, NoSQL, or Other.

Java Edition

Copy the JDBC driver to the lib folder of your Java Web server to select the data source under the section Application, NoSQL, or Other.
