type
type
Data source type.
Mandatory, no default value.
Known types are mysql, pgsql, mssql,
xmlpipe2, tsvpipe, csvpipe and odbc.
All other per-source options depend on source type selected by this option.
Names of the options used for SQL sources (ie. MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL) start with “sql_”;
names of the ones used for xmlpipe2 or tsvpipe, csvpipe start with “xmlpipe_” and “tsvpipe_”,
“csvpipe_” correspondingly.
All source types are conditional; they might or might
not be supported depending on your build settings, installed client libraries, etc.
mssql type is currently only available on Windows.
odbc type is available both on Windows natively and on
Linux through UnixODBC library.
Example:
type = mysql
