Chapter 16: Building Modular Bots and Sub-Tasks

The previous chapter was all about databases. It included a number of practical walk-throughs that demonstrated some of the automation actions available for your RPA projects. You learned all about connecting to databases such as SQL Server, Oracle, Access, and SQLite, and you even explored using connection strings. The skills gained there focused on reading and updating datasets from your database. Using the sample databases from the GitHub repository, the step-by-step instructions guided you on how to apply SQL Select statements, in particular, the Select, Insert, Update, and Delete statements.

This chapter moves away from Automation Anywhere actions and packages; here you will learn more about how to build a well-structured bot. As a good developer, you'll not only want your bot to perform its task without any issues, but you'll also want to build a bot that is easy to understand and is made up of small building blocks...
