Connector development involves creating the relationship between the connector and a particular application. The actual coding of a connector is usually a fairly straightforward process. The most challenging tasks are:

For detailed information on connector architecture, modifications, and development, refer to the Connector Development Guide for Java or the Connector Development Guide for C++.
