Connectors for projects and catalogs
You can add connections to a broad array of data sources in projects and catalogs. Source connections can be used to read data; target connections can be used to load (save) data. When you create a target connection, be sure to use credentials that have Write permission or you won't be able to save data to the target.
In IBM watsonx.data, the following connectors are supported:
-
For unstructured data - Amazon S3, Box, IBM FileNet P8, and Microsoft SharePoint.
-
For structured data - Amazon S3, IBM Cloud Object Storage, Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage, IBM Db2, PostgreSQL, IBM Netezza Performance Server, Snowflake, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server.
Tip:
Currently Access Control List (ACL) is supported only for Amazon S3 and Box. For more details about ACL, see Access Controlled Lists (ACL).
From a project, you must create a connection to a data source before you can read data from it or load data to it.
From a catalog, you must add a connection asset before you can add data assets for the tables you can access from the connection.
