To extend this module:

Known issues / Roadmap

• Find a way to remove or default the CA certs dir

• Add concept of multiple connection strings for one source (multiple nodes)

• Add a ConnectionEnvironment that allows for the reuse of connections

• Message box should be displayed instead of error in connection_test

• Remove old api compatibility layers (v11)

• Instead of returning list of results, we should return iterators. This will support larger datasets in a more efficient manner.

• Implement better CRUD handling
