# Add Non-SQL Server Subscriber
  Replication supports creating push subscriptions to snapshot and transactional publications for Oracle and IBM DB2 Subscribers.  
  
## Options  
 **Type of Subscriber to add**  
 Select an Oracle Subscriber or IBM DB2 Subscriber. For more information about support for these Subscribers, see [Non-SQL Server Subscribers](non-sql/non-sql-server-subscribers.md).  
  
 **Data source name**  
 The name used to locate the database on a network. Replication produces a connection string for the database using the data source name, combined with the login, password, and any connection options you specify in the **Distribution Agent Security** page in this wizard.  
  
> [!NOTE]  
>  The data source name and connection string are not validated by [!INCLUDE[msCoName](../../includes/msconame-md.md)][!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] until the Distribution Agent attempts to initialize the subscription.
