Establish A connection: Select Tools/Datasource/Define Test Connection button A complex connection string is created for you by Catalyst. Select the Data using SQL SELECT … from … Link the data to the .ttk IDs Give your DDF a name

9 Connection to the database
There is no connection to the database while translation is in progress. Connection to the database is only required when: Setting up the connection string and inserting the DDF into the TTK When populating the translated text back into the Database after translation.
