Application Specific database connection
Question

Hello,


I currently have this new requirement that says I have my environment that has multiple applications all of them are connected to a single MSSQL Database for the sake of the question let's call it "OS_Dev"

I want to create a new database schema let's call it "OS_Meetings" I want a specific application to read and write from and on the new schema how is that possible 


Note: My DevOps/System administrator is currently indisposed and I am taking the role as a developer on this task 


Note:2 I did my research and I am not looking to connect to an external database but a database that my tables on the data tab in service studio can connect to 



Thank You very much

Hello Ahmad,

First of all, you cannot create a new DB/schema from Outsystems data tab. It can only be done in specific DBMS client. 

You want to maintain 2 DB for a single connection within internal DB, that is also not possible, a platform can be connected to only one DB/Schema at a time and that also done at time of your platform installation as platform requires a DB. 

Ref: https://success.outsystems.com/documentation/11/setup_outsystems_infrastructure_and_platform/setting_up_outsystems/default_platform_server_and_database_configurations/ 

The only way to maintain another DB for a specific application will be using external DB connection. you can actually create a new connection and connect to same DB server(as internal). you can restrict DB permissions for different user while creating a new connection.

Hope it helps!
