Connect to a database

Define the source and destination database

Before you can synthesize your data, you must first create a workspace by connecting to a source and destination database. The source database contains the data that you want to synthesize. The destination database is the location where you want to write the synthetic data to.

Syntho supports connecting to a variety of different databases.

Supported databases

Supported filesystems (destination only)

Batch read and write options

Syntho supports reading and writing in batches. These settings can be used to reduce the number of rows to read and write simultaneously, which can be especially helpful to minimize resources when working with large databases. For more information how to change these settings, see Advanced generation settings.

Request a new connector

If Syntho doesn't have a native (built-in) connector for your data, you can request it with your Syntho contact person. Syntho regularly reviews requests by customers to help determine and prioritize what features should be added to the product.
