# Create a Trino catalog

> Create a Trino catalog to connect and access external data sources using Trino connectors.

You create a Trino catalog when you need to access a data source. Several Trino catalog types exist, and each one
corresponds to a [Trino connector plugin](https://trino.io/docs/current/connector.html) designed to
communicate with a specific data source.
