+.IP "\fBdb:\fR[\fIdb\fB,\fR]\fItable\fB,\fIcolumn\fR"
+Reads additional connection methods from \fIcolumn\fR in all of the
+rows in \fItable\fR within \fIdb\fR. (If \fBovsdb\-server\fR is
+providing access to only one database, then \fIdb\fR is optional.) As
+the contents of \fIcolumn\fR changes, \fBovsdb\-server\fR also adds
+and drops connection methods accordingly.
+.IP
+If \fIcolumn\fR's type is string or set of strings, then the
+connection methods are taken directly from the column. The connection
+methods in the column must have one of the forms described above.
+.IP
+If \fIcolumn\fR's type is UUID or set of UUIDs and references a table,
+then each UUID is looked up in the referenced table to obtain a row.
+The following columns in the row, if present and of the correct type,
+configure a connection method. Any additional columns are ignored.
