The Connection Strings feature is used to connect third party databases to banterone database. In such scenarios, Custom Connections feature on banterone allows users to build connectors that securely feed data from third party databases to the banterone API.
A connection string is a string that specifies information about a data source and the means of connecting to it. A connection string contains Data Source name i.e., server name, i.e., database name, user id i.e., login user id of the database, password i.e., the login password of the database.
