Q11297 - INFO: From External Data Source

The external data source import utility allows you to import data from any ADO compliant database (Access, MS SQL, Oracle...)

In variable edit (see Variable Edit External Source Setup), you can setup an SQL Query to pull data from an external database (setup with External Data Source Setup) and place the result in the WIMS Variable.  After you have setup the data source connection and the SQL Query, use the Import, from External Data Source in Utilities to get the data.
