Patent attributes
Systems and methods for querying and obtaining results from an external data source that operates with a different querying language is provided. The system activates a datasource connector of the system. The system receives attributes of a query in a native language of the system, and the datasource connector formats the attributes of the query into a query language statement in a native language of the external source. The datasource connector then makes an application programming interface (API) call to the external source. The API call includes a transmission of the query language statement to the external source, which causes the external source to perform a query using the query language statement. The datasource connector receives results of the query performed at the external source, whereby the results are in a non-tabular format. The datasource connector then reformats the results into a tabular format.
