# ConnectionString

The connection string to use to connect to the fact store SQL database. This parameter is required for a Fact Bank system when you have set BackendType to `sqldb`.

The connection string is passed on to the database, so you can use a connection string that works with any SQL client application.

NOTE: On Linux operating systems, remove the spaces in the connection string.
