To import data from a cloud database

1. Create a pipeline or open an existing pipeline from the Home Page, Pipelines tab or Workspaces tab and click the Add data option. You can also click the Import data option under the Workspaces tab to import data.  
InfoInfo: You can also click the Import data  icon at the top of the pipeline builder and bring data from multiple sources into the pipeline.


 

2. Select the Cloud databases category from the left pane and choose the required cloud database. You can also search cloud databases in the search box.



3. Choose your Database service name and Database type

4. Enter your Database server host.        

5. Enter your Database name, username, and password if authentication is required. 

6.  You can also select the Use SSL checkbox if your database server has been setup to serve encrypted data through SSL.



Notes
Note : The Connection name must be unique for each connection. 

7. Click Connect




Notes Note The connection configuration will be saved for importing data in the future. Credentials are securely encrypted and stored. 

8.  Select the tables that need to be imported. You can also use SQL query to select and import data. 




9. Click Import to begin importing data from your cloud database service. 

10. Once you complete importing data, the Pipeline builder page opens and you can start applying  transforms to the ETL pipeline. You can also right-click the stage and choose the Prepare data option to prepare your data using various transforms in the DataPrep Studio page. Click here to know more about the transforms. 



11. Once you are done creating your data flow and applying necessary transforms in your stages, you can right-click a stage and add a destination to complete your data flow.
Notes
Note:  After adding a destination to your ETL pipeline, you can choose to schedule the import and export using the Schedule option available in the pipeline builder to automate the data movement. Click here to know more.

To edit the cloud database connection

DataPrep saves your data connections to avoid the hassle of keying in the credentials every time you need to connect to a data source or destination. You can always edit the saved data connection and update them with new parameters or credentials using the Edit connection  option. 

1. Click Saved data connections from the Choose a data source box while creating a new dataset. 



2. You can manage your saved data connections right from the data import screen. Click the ellipsis (3 dots) icon to share, edit, view the connection overview, or remove the connection. 



3. Click the Edit connection option to update the saved connection with new parameters or credentials. 




Troubleshooting 

If you're unable to connect to the cloud database,

  1. Verify that the required IP addresses are whitelisted. 
    Zoho DataPrep IP address

  2. Ensure that you are using SQL authentication, as Zoho DataPrep only supports this authentication method.
