No. This is one of the trickiest 'features' of Witango to get your head around sometimes. My 'Deployment datasource' explanation: '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''' -- If set in your TAF, the 'Deployment datasource' is used only by the App Server and/or Dev Studio Server at the time of your TAF execution. -- The 'Deployment datasource' doesn't care that your running the Dev Server or full App Server. -- Your TAFs, of course, only needs the 'Deployment' DSN to be setup on the Server machine. My 'Development datasource' Explanation: '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''' -- Is used by the Editor for displaying your Database Tables and Fields and allows you to drag-and-drop Fields into your datasource Actions, etc... -- In the absence of a 'Deployment datasource' - the 'Development datasource' is used by the TAF at the time of execution by an App or Dev Server. -- The 'Development' DSN needs to be setup on the same machine as the Editor - but if a 'Deployment datasource' IS specified in your TAFs, then the 'Development' DSN is NOT required on your Server machine. Obviously, if NO 'Deployment datasource' is set in your TAF - then the 'Development' DSN IS required on both the Editor and Server machines. Hope this clears things up. Cheers....
