Can TSA library connect directly to external databases?
There is no support for formula code to read data from external database classes. Formula code does however communicate seamlessly with native database files which are managed by dedicated database classes. Importing and exporting data to and from commercial RDBMS’s should be quick to set up, either via CSV files or a C/C++ API. If the external database has a C/C++ API, it is also possible to implement a new component to read directly from an external database table, much like the IRecord() function reads from the native database.
