Add Single Database
Use the Database source configuration screen to configure the crawling and classification of content stored in your Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle databases.
Configure and crawl content either with the configured service accounts (IIS Application Pool User, Windows Services) or with specific connection details.
When crawling the data, the product doesn't support Unicode table names or Unicode primary keys. It supports primary keys only with the Latin alphabet.
After connecting, you can create an intelligent content mapping, crawling certain fields as unstructured index text, and other fields as mapped metadata. See the Database Configuration Wizard section for instructions on configuring field mappings.
If you want to make other configuration changes before collection of the source occurs, select the Pause source on creation checkbox.
