 ==== External meta-data ====
+No matter how powerful we make our own [[form_management|form management]], we realize that there will always be external data silos that for any number of reasons are inconvenient to bring to PMA.core in their entirety.
+That's why we provide the option to [[external_data|establish links to external databases systems]] in a two-step fashion:
+ * first, you define the link to the resource (via a connectionstring). In PMA.core 2 this can be a SQLServer or Oracle RDBMS.
+ * second, you define a query that retrieves the data from the RDBMS, and identify a way so that individual records can be mapped back to specific filenames.
