Linking SQL Server data sources

Creating a dSource will ingest data from the source and create a dSource on the engine. The dSource is an object that the Continuous Data Engine uses to create and update virtual copies of your database. As a virtualized representation of your source data, it cannot be managed, manipulated, or examined by database tools.
