Using the SQL Plug-In 6
You can use the API that the SQL plug-in provides to implement connectivity to SQL databases and other
tabular data sources, such as spreadsheets or flat files.
The SQL plug-in API which is based on JDBC, provides a call-level API for SQL-based database access. The
SQL plug-in also provides sample workflows that demonstrate how to use the API in workflows.
This chapter includes the following topics:

Configuring the SQL Plug-In
You can use the workflows included in the SQL plug-in and run them from the Orchestrator client to
configure the SQL plug-in and to add, update, or remove a database.
SQL Plug-In Configuration Workflows
The Configuration workflow category of the SQL plug-in contains workflows that allow you to manage
databases and database tables.
You can access these workflows from Library > SQL > Configuration in the Workflows view of the
Orchestrator client.
Workflow Name Description
Add a database Adds a database object to the Database plug-in inventory.
Add tables to a database Adds database tables to a database in the Database plug-in inventory.
Remove a database Removes a database object from the Database plug-in inventory.
Remove a table from a database Removes a database table from a database in the Database plug-in inventory.
Update a database Updates the configuration of a database object in the Database plug-in inventory.
Validate a database Validates a database in the Database plug-in inventory.
