External Database

External database refers to any SQL database that the user can integrate with the EdgeReady platform. Currently, the user can access the MySQL, Oracle and MSSQL databases.

• For external databases, the action blocks are added to the Plugin lane. 
• When the plugin and adapter are selected by the user, the username is displayed in the first oval box and the user is prompted to enter the password in the second oval box.

• The external database consists of the Select, Create, Update, Delete, and Prepared actions blocks. The action and functionalities are the same as in the EdgeReady DB.
• Similar to EdgeReady DB, these actions are done using variable mapping by inserting necessary input and output variables in the "where" and "to" spaces provided.
