A Datasource is an entity within the Virtual Data Assistant that serves as a container for a collection of metadata. Metadata refers to information about datasets, such as data source location, schema, data types, and other relevant properties. Essentially, a Datasource is like a virtual folder that groups related datasets together, making it easier for users to manage and access data efficiently.
Datasource creation using Connectors
Connectors are modules or plugins that establish connections to specific data sources or databases. VDA offers multiple connectors to popular datasources e.g PostgreSQL, MySQL etc. When users select a connector and provide the necessary connection details, it establishes a link to the data source, allowing access to the data within that source.
Searching Datasets within a Datasource
Once datasets are created and organized within a Datasource, users can perform searches to find specific entities or datasets within that Datasource. This search functionality simplifies data discovery, especially in cases where multiple datasets are stored within the same Datasource.An user can search using specific filters to find appropriate datasets.
