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

1. In MOSTLY AI, select the Catalogs tab.
2. Click Create catalog.
3. 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.
4. 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.
