Datasources 1: Introduction to Datasources

In this first tutorial we will be looking at datasources, what they are and how they allow AMI to connect to and work with a huge variety of different sources of data such as databases, files or executables. We will create our own datasource that allows us to connect, retrieve and modify data in an Oracle database and another that allows us to read and process data from a CSV file. Along the way we will cover the AMI architecture that makes this all possible.
