of a database accessed via an OLE DB provider or an ODBC driver (Excel, Access, Oracle, SQL Server, ...).
of a database accessed via a native WINDEV access (SQL Server, Oracle or AS/400).

To convert the structure of a data file, select "Structure of files .. Import the descriptions of files/tables" from the data model editor.
