Database connection string: Enter a variable connection string in this box. To do
this you may begin by clicking to create an ODBC connection string to the data
source and paste the string automatically to this box. Note that if a login name and
password are required to connect to the database, a dialog box is displayed and the
information you enter is saved in the configuration of the PlanetPress Workflow
Database action task. Another option, if a database connection string (not a
database path and name) was already entered in the Database Connection tab, is ti
simply copy and paste it to this box. Bear in mind that if the Parse normally option is
not selected, any backslashes included in the connection string that is not doubled
will be disregarded. Once your connection string is displayed in this box, you can
edit it by adding variables or data selections.
l

and data selections in your statement.

is respected in the output folder.
Output
This task outputs the data file it received with no modification. Metadata and job files are not
