Harness the Power of Data Sources in Appian for Maximum Efficiency

Data Sources in Appian

In Appian, you can connect to data sources in a few ways, including:

Connected systems
When you create a connected system, you can choose from a list of Appian-supported databases, including DB2, MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Aurora MySQL, and Aurora PostgreSQL.

Record data sources
You can create a record data source to allow a record type to access data from a web service. A record data source is an expression rule that calls an integration and returns data from the response body.

Data stores
You can create a data store by selecting a data source from a list of relational databases configured for your environment.

JNDI data sources can be accessed by retrieving the JNDI name of the data source. This can be easily accomplished by selecting the Data Sources drop-down on the Data Stores tab or by utilizing the javax.naming.Context to retrieve a connection.

Normally There is a Concept Called Backed Records in Appian.
