Connections
Prophecy lets you work with various data providers when building your pipelines. To read and write data from external sources, create connections inside a Prophecy fabric.
When you attach to a fabric with connections, you can:
- Reuse credentials that are established in the connection.
- Browse data from the data provider in the Environment browser of your Prophecy project.
- Auto-index data for search in the Prophecy interface.
Connections accessβ
Prophecy controls access to connections through fabric-level permissions. To access a connection, you must have access to the fabric that contains the connection. You can only access fabrics that are assigned to one of your teams.
Most connections are only used to read from and write to data sources. The SQL Warehouse connection is an exceptionβit also provides the compute environment for pipeline execution.
Add a new connectionβ
To configure a new connection in a Prophecy fabric:
- Open the Metadata page from the left sidebar in Prophecy.
- Navigate to the Fabric tab.
- Open the fabric where you want to add the connection.
- Navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click + Add Connection. This opens the Create Connection dialog.
- Select a data provider from the list of connection types.
- Click Next to open the connection details.

Learn about individual connection parameters in the connection's respective reference page.
You can also create connections inside the project editor.
