Hello,



I'm trying to drive a configurator setting from a database using a single line text with variable input. My question is, do I need the Database Connect Flow Element in my flow for this to work, or will just creating the SQL query using the Build SQL Query UI be sufficient?



It seems to work fine without the Database Connect flow element, but I just wanted to confirm if it is necessary in the flow.

The purpose of the "Database connect" element is to put information in the database. To extract information there are several places where you can do that:

- in a drop-down list of the metadata of a submit point or checkpoint

- in "Condition with variables" on a connection

- on all property fields with "Single-line text with variable".



In other words, you have been doing it correctly.
