DataSource (class)

This is the base class for all data source classes, used for specifying the database lookup table to use for the parameter options or details of a parameter.

Can be imported from the module squirrels.types or squirrels.

note

The constructor of all subclasses of this class contains a connection_name argument to specify the database connection to use. Using lookup tables from the virtual data environment is not yet supported. This will be implemented in a future release.
