Pentaho Data Access

The Pentaho Data Access project is a general architecture for easy creation and usage of data throughout all Pentaho's BI software. The project aims to offer easy to use creation tools so users can quickly gain access to a large variety of data, as well as easy to use APIs so that many projects can access that data in a secure way.
