# For WSS and MOSS (any editions): BDLC

Left by Frank at 8/20/2009 12:11 PM
Gravatar For WSS and MOSS (if you don't have Enterprise Edition) you can also use the BDLC. It connects a real SharePoint list directly with almost any external LOB data using common list settings with 3 easy steps:

1. Enter connection string
2. Enter select statement
3. Enter primary keys (if any).

Fast background updates of changed data only.

Alerts and workflows can be used to take business actions, if external data records are changed!!

The feature comes with a robust installer and is available for WSS, MOSS and SharePoint 2010 with release.
