Please choose a strong password for your Master Key. You should also backup the master key by using BACKUP MASTER KEY and store the backup in a secure off-site location. |

This step creates an external data source object and then uses the credentials for the database object to connect to the data source.

| 53 | +## External Data Table Mapping |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +In the next window, you will be able to select the databases you want to create external views of. Note: Selecting the parent will include all child tables as well. When the tables are selected, the mapping of the external table can be seen on the right hand side. Here you can make any type changes or change the name of the external tables. Note: Double clicking a selected table will change the mapping view. |

| 57 | +[IMPORTANT] Photo type is not yet supported by the data virtualization tool. Creating an external view with a photo type in it will throw an error after creation of table. The table will still be created though. |

55 | 61 | This step provides a summary of your selections. It provides the name of the Database scoped credential and the External Data Source objects which will be created in the destination database. In this step, you have the option to **Generate Script** which will script out in T-SQL the syntax to create the external data source or **Create** which will create the External Data Source object. |
