# Configure JDBC data sources

When you create a JDBC data source in the Administration Console, most data source attributes are configured so that the data source will work in your environment. However, you may need to modify a data source configuration to enable or disable specific features or to tune performance.

The main steps for configuring JDBC data sources are:

1. Create a data source for each data base that you want to connect to. If you need more than one set of configuration options for a database, you can create more than one data source that includes connections to the same database. See Create JDBC data sources.
2. Optionally configure transaction options for the data source. See Configure global transaction options for a JDBC data source.
3. Optionally configure connection testing options for the data source. See Configure testing options for a JDBC data source.
4. Optionally target the data source to additional servers and clusters. See Target JDBC data sources.
