Which of the following best describes a Database Connection?
A Database Connection in Content Platform Engine is a reusable, domain-level object stored in the Global Configuration Database (GCD). It defines the underlying connection (JDBC/JNDI data source) to a relational database, and once created it can be reused by multiple object stores or other components that need to connect to that database, avoiding the need to redefine connection details repeatedly. This is distinct from client-application repository connections (used by tools like Content Navigator) and is a core, currently supported GCD object rather than a legacy workflow-only construct.
