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....
