Use CData Sync for automated, continuous, customizable CData Connect AI replication to SingleStore.

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live CData Connect AI data into your SingleStore instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.

Configure SingleStore as a Replication Destination

Using CData Sync, you can replicate CData Connect AI data to SingleStore. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

  1. Click Add Connection. Add a new connection.
  2. Select the Destinations tab and locate the SingleStore connector. Configure a Destination connection to SingleStore.
  3. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the SingleStore connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections in the Help documentation.
  4. To connect to SingleStore, enter the required connection properties and select an authentication scheme (see below):

    • Server: Enter the host name or IP of the server hosting the SingleStore database.
    • Port: Enter the port of the server hosting the SingleStore database.
    • Database (Optional): Enter the default database to connect to when connecting to the SingleStore Server. If this is not set, tables from all databases will be available.

    Connect Using Standard Authentication

    To authenticate using standard authentication, set the following:

    • User: Enter the user which will be used to authenticate with the SingleStore server.
    • Password: Enter the password which will be used to authenticate with the SingleStore server.

    Connect Using Integrated Security

    As an alternative to providing the standard username and password, you can set IntegratedSecurity to True to authenticate trusted users to the server via Windows Authentication.

    Connect Using SSL Authentication

    You can leverage SSL authentication to connect to SingleStore data via a secure session. Configure the following connection properties to connect to data:

    • SSLClientCert: Set this to the name of the certificate store for the client certificate. Used in the case of 2-way SSL, where truststore and keystore are kept on both the client and server machines.
    • SSLClientCertPassword: If a client certificate store is password-protected, set this value to the store's password.
    • SSLClientCertSubject: Enter the subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate. It is used to locate the certificate in the store.
    • SSLClientCertType: Enter the certificate type of the client store.
    • SSLServerCert: Enter the certificate to be accepted from the server.

    Connect Using SSH Authentication

    Using SSH, you can securely login to a remote machine. To access SingleStore data via SSH, configure the following connection properties:

    • SSHClientCert: Set this to the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.
    • SSHClientCertPassword: If a client certificate store is password-protected, set this value to the store's password.
    • SSHClientCertSubject: The subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate. Used to locate the certificate in the store.
    • SSHClientCertType: The certificate type of the client store.
    • SSHPassword: The password that you use to authenticate with the SSH server.
    • SSHPort: The port used for SSH operations.
    • SSHServer: The SSH authentication server you are trying to authenticate against.
    • SSHServerFingerPrint: The SSH Server fingerprint used for verification of the host you are connecting to.
    • SSHUser: Set this to the username that you use to authenticate with the SSH server.
    5. Enter the connection name. Enter the connection details.
  5. Once connected, click Create & Test to create, test and save the connection.

You are now connected to SingleStore and can use it as both a source and a destination.

NOTE: You can use the Label feature to add a label for a source or a destination.

Add a label.

In this article, we will demonstrate how to load CData Connect AI data into SingleStore and utilize it as a destination.

Configure the CData Connect AI Connection

You can configure a connection to CData Connect AI from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your CData Connect AI account, navigate to the Connections tab.

  1. Click Add Connection.
  2. Select a source (CData Connect AI).
  3. Configure the connection properties.

    There are two ways to connect to Connect AI: OAuth authentication and Basic authentication.

    To connect to Connect AI using OAuth, set Auth Scheme to "OAuth." When the OAuth login page appears in your default web browser, log in to Connect AI to proceed.

    If you are unable to use browser-based OAuth authentication to connect to Connect AI, you can use Basic authentication. In this case, set Auth Scheme to "Basic,"" and then set the User and Personal Access Token for Connect AI.

    Connect to a Workspace

    To connect the JDBC client to a specific workspace, you specify the workspace name in the Advanced tab of the JDBC driver for Connect AI.

  4. Click Connect to CData Connect AI to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
  5. Click Save & Test to save the changes.

Configure Replication Queries

CData Sync enables you to control replication with a point-and-click interface and with SQL queries. For each replication you wish to configure, navigate to the Jobs tab and click Add Job. Select the Source and Destination for your replication.

Select Source and Destination connections for the replication.

Replicate Entire Tables

To replicate an entire table, navigate to the Task tab in the Job, click Add Tasks, choose the table(s) from the list of CData Connect AI tables you wish to replicate into SingleStore, and click Add Tasks again.

Choose entire tables to replicate (Salesforce is shown).

Customize Your Replication

You can use the Columns and Query tabs of a task to customize your replication. The Columns tab allows you to specify which columns to replicate, rename the columns at the destination, and even perform operations on the source data before replicating. The Query tab allows you to add filters, grouping, and sorting to the replication with the help of SQL queries.

Schedule Your Replication

Select the Overview tab in the Job, and click Configure under Schedule. You can schedule a job to run automatically by configuring it to run at specified intervals, ranging from once every 10 minutes to once every month.

Schedule your job to run automatically.

Once you have configured the replication job, click Save Changes. You can configure any number of jobs to manage the replication of your CData Connect AI data to SingleStore.

Run the Replication Job

Once all the required configurations are made for the job, select the CData Connect AI table you wish to replicate and click Run. After the replication completes successfully, a notification appears, showing the time taken to run the job and the number of rows replicated.

Run the job.
