Hi,

Can someone guide me, Can we add database connection using FSCrawler? so that path can be fetched directly from database and files will also get indexed using same path.

Thanks,  
Priyanka

No. Not yet and not in the near future sadly.  
This is something that could be doable in the long term though.

Could you open a feature request in FSCrawler project ?
