Data Source Explorer

The Data Source Explorer is used to manipulate the data sources within the application.
It is accessible through:
Tools > Data Source Explorer...
The Data Sources supported by TerraView application are listed in the left field of the interface. Each data source has an icon and a name associated.

1. Microsoft Access
2. PostGIS
3. Raster files (GDAL)
4. Vector files (OGR)

To add, delete, create a empty one, open/reopen a connection, or update the connection parameters follow the steps bellow:

1. Select one of the Data Source type from the list.
2. Click on to add an existing data source as an Available Data Source and fill the connections parameters.
3. Click on to delete a previous defined connection to a Data Source. All datasets of the Data Source deleted will not be accessible by the Layer Explorer anymore.
4. Click on to change the connection parameters or just to reopen the connection.
5. Click on to create a new empty data source.

To fill the connections parameters for each data source type see the Connector plugins.

Note: To add support to other Data Source types (such as Oracle, SQlite) it is necessary to define a plugin and load to TerraView application.
