The most important part of a graph or map is the data. Although you can always enter your data manually, one of Corda Server's most useful features is the ability to import live, dynamic data in many different formats. Corda Server can import from the following types of data sources:

• Data files
• Databases

Data files

Corda Server can import data from files, URLs, or web applications in the following formats:

• CSV File
• Tab Delimited
• HTML Table
• XML
• PCScript (Corda Scripting Language)

Databases

Corda Server products are flexible enough to connect to just about any database imaginable, including:

• Oracle
• MS-SQL
• Access
• MySQL
• PostgreSQL
• DB2
• Informix
• and more...

Corda Server can connect to these databases automatically using the following technologies:

• ODBC (ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion on IIS)
• JDBC (JSP, Java Servlets, ColdFusion)

Or, if you'd like the power and flexibility to process your data sets before sending them to Corda Server, you can perform data queries yourself and send the data to Corda Server in one of the following formats:
