Notes
Note: If this is the first time you are downloading Databridge, see how to install it here.



6. Once you have installed Databridge on your machine, select your Databridge from the Databridge drop-down. 
Notes
Note: Select the Databridge which is installed in the same network as the database you want to import the data from.

7. Select your Database type and enter the Database server host name and Port number.

8. Enter your Database name and provide the username and password if authentication is required.



9. Save your database configuration and connect to the database using Connect.

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



10. Select the tables that need to be imported. Alternatively, you can use a SQL query to import data. 

Warning
The incremental fetch option is not available when the data is imported using a query from databases. Click here to know more about incremental fetch from local database.



11. Click the Import button.

12Once you have completed importing data, Pipeline builder page will open from where you can start applying transforms. You can also right-click the stage and choose the Prepare data option to prepare your data in the DataPrep Studio pageClick here to know more about the transforms.



13. 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 the pipeline, you can try executing your pipeline using a manual run at first. Once you make sure manual run works, you can then set up schedule to automate the pipeline. Learn about the different types of runs here.
While configuring the Schedule, Backfill, Manual reload, Webhooks, or Zoho Flow, the import configuration needs to be mandatorily setup for all the sources. Without setting up the import configuration, the run cannot be saved. Click here to know more about how to set up import configuration.

14. After configuring a run, a pipeline job will be created at the run time. You can view the status of a job with the granular details in the Job summary. Click here to know more about the job summary.


To edit the 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. While creating a new dataset, click Saved data connections from the left pane in the Choose a data source section. 



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.
