Supported data sources in DataStage
Data source connectors provide data connectivity and metadata integration to external data sources, such as relational databases, cloud storage services, or messaging software.
DataStage® supports the following data sources. To establish the connection for the DataStage connector for these data sources, see Connecting to a data source in DataStage.
The "for DataStage" version of a connection gives you increased performance and more features such as before and after SQL statements and reject links. However, you cannot use the "for DataStage" connection outside of the DataStage service. You can use connections that are available to other tools and services (for example, the Salesforce.com connection), if you already created the connection, and you want to reuse it in DataStage.
