1. Log in to FineBI as the admin, choose System Management > Data Connection > Data Connection Management, and click New Data Connection, as shown in the following figure.

Note:

If you are not the admin, you can configure data connections only after the admin assigns you the permission on Data Connection Management. For details, see Data Connection Permissions Overview.

2. Find the GaussDB 200 icon, as shown in the following figure.

3. Select Customfrom the Driver drop-down list, select the driver uploaded in section "Version/Driver", and enter the connection information collected in section "Connection Information Collection", as shown in the following figure.

Note:

You can optionally modify other advanced settings. For details, see section "Advanced Settings" in Entry-Level Data Connection Configuration.

Two methods are available to add database tables to FineBI.

• Adding Database Tables

• Adding SQL Datasets

• To add a SQL dataset to FineBI, avoid single quotes in the field name in the SQL statement. Otherwise, FineBI will incorrectly adjust the field name to ?column?.

• To add a SQL dataset, if the SQL statement contains the order by statement, you must select the extracted data as the calculation mode of the SQL dataset for data saving.
