Learning Tabulify - Step 2 - What's a Data Resource ?
Data Resources
The first job of a data processing platform such as Tabulify is to work with data.
Tabulify calls, locates and knows all data uniformly under the term Data Resource.
- A file is a data resource
- A directory is a data resource
- A url is a data resource
- A database table is a data resource
- A database schema is a data resource
Innovate - Everything is a file
On the Tabulify platform, all data are uniformly named and manipulated as Data Resource.
It means that you can copy a csv file into a database table and vice-versa with the same command as if you were copying a file to another directory, following the Everything is a file mantra.
List
The Tabulify platform supports a lot of different data resources that you can discover in the data resources page.

The data resources are stored in systems that we can reach via a connection.
