Building our first connector

Lets jump right in and build our first connector.
We are going to build a connector that lets us send queries to a local sqlite
database that is on-premise.
We can then build integrations that allow us to communicate with this sqlite instance.
Lets start by defining our connector definition within Lucy.
Go to the Lucy Pro interface, and then under settings, scroll down to On-Premise Connectors
and go to Connector Registry
The connector registry contains a list of all the connector definitions we have.
You can export your definitions and import them into a different Lucy account easily.
When you install a connector from the connector gallery, if it's an on-premise connector, it will install a definition into the connector registry.
Once you open the connector registry, you can see any existing connectors you have.
Click the New External Connector Definition
link to define your new connector!
On the next screen you will be asked to name your connector. Lets give it a name - 'SqliteConnector' and save it.
After saving it, you are taken to the connector definition page. Here, you can start defining the methods for your connector.
