Use a connector as a data source
To use a connector as a data source, you need to create a catalog with the connector and you also need to select which tables you want to synthesize from that data source.
Prerequisites
Create a connector for a database or cloud storage bucket and select Source under Connection type. You can use all supported databases and cloud object storage providers as a data source for your original data.

Steps
- In MOSTLY AI, select the Catalogs tab.
- Click Create catalog.
- Select a source connector and click Next.
- Select the Database tab and select an existing database connector. For more information, see Define a database catalog.
- Select the Cloud storage tab and select an existing cloud storage connector. For more information, see Define a cloud dataset catalog.
- Add tables to the catalog.
For more information, see Create a catalog.
Result
You now have a catalog that uses the selected connector as a data source.
What's next
With the catalog in place, you can click Next and configure the catalog job settings including the selection of a destination for your synthetic data.
You can then start the training and generation of the synthetic dataset.
