&lt;br /&gt;
Where central data is held in MS-SQL databases but the application level is unable to provide all the various summary and analysis functions that fast moving businesses need.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Either create views and link the connectors to these or simply link the connectors to SQL statements with a read-only access to the database.
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you have your new data connector saved it&amp;rsquo;s easy to directly edit the .odc files to change the initial catalog, the view that is being accessed and user names etc.&lt;br /&gt;
