Hi.

I need to give a name to some categories of objects in a program. Name must be clear to the user and possibly 1 word.

  o1 = Database --> "database"
  o2 = Connection to a Database (connection string + login info) --> "connection"
  o3 = Connection to Database + SQL/custom program to extract data
--> "??"

Question.

What is the best name for o3. I wanted to call it a "datasource", but some people are arguing that "datasource" is usually the same as database.

What is your suggestion for a clear and meaningful naming of these objects ?
