Purpose

C-501 Use Connect SQL rules when your application needs to run complex Structured Query Language statements such as joins or stored procedures to update or extract information from an external database.

TipAlternative: If your application needs to perform a simple browse, open, delete, or update operation against an external database, use the Connector and Metadata Accelerator to configure external table access. When external table access is configured for an external table, you can use the Obj-Open, Obj-Browse, and other Obj- methods to interact with that table through a class that represents it and you do not need to create SQL connector rules. See About generating connector rules.
