Automated Continuous SingleStore Data Replication to OneLake in Microsoft Fabric



Use CData Sync for automated, continuous, customizable SingleStore data replication to OneLake in Microsoft Fabric.

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

Configure OneLake as a Replication Destination

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

  1. Click Add Connection.
  2. Click the Sources tab and locate Azure OneLake connector.
  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 OneLake connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections in the Help documentation.
  4. After the connected is added, enter the following Basic connection properties under Settings to connect to OneLake:
    • Connection Name: Enter a connection name of your choice.
    • File Format: Select the file format that you want to use. Sync supports the CSV, PARQUET, and AVRO file formats.
    • URI: Enter the path of the file system and folder that contains your files (for example, onelake://Workspace/Test.LakeHouse/Files/CustomFolder).
    • Auth Scheme: To connect with an Azure Active Directory (AD) user account, select Azure AD for Auth Scheme. CData Sync provides an embedded OAuth application with which to connect so no additional properties are required.
    • Data Model: Specify the data format to use while parsing the selected file format documents and generating the database metadata.
    • If you are hosting CData Sync (locally or in your own cloud):
      • Use CData CallbackURL: Disable the toggle.
      • Callback URL: Enter the Callback URL.
    • If you are using CData Sync Cloud, leave the Use CData CallbackURL toggle enabled.
  5. Navigate to the Advanced tab and scroll down to the Miscellaneous section.
  6. In Include Files, enter the file format initially selected.
  7. Select Create from Insert Mode dropdown. The other Insert Mode options are Overwrite and Batch.
  8. Now, navigate back to Basic settings and click Connect to Azure OneLake.
  9. Once connected, click Create & Test to save the connection.

You are now connected to OneLake 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.

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

Configure the SingleStore Connection

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

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

    The following connection properties are required in order to connect to data.

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

    Connect Using Standard Authentication

    To authenticate using standard authentication, set the following:

    • User: The user which will be used to authenticate with the SingleStore server.
    • Password: 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: The subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate. Used to locate the certificate in the store.
    • SSLClientCertType: The certificate type of the client store.
    • SSLServerCert: 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.
  4. Click Connect to SingleStore 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.

Edit the Job

  1. In the Advanced tab of the Job, click Edit Replicate Options and select the Insert Mode as Single File from the dropdown (If the Insert Mode is selected as "Create" in the OneLake connector.)
  2. In "Batch" mode, you need to set the Insert Mode in Jobs to File Per Batch.
  3. In "Overwrite" mode, both Single File and File Per Batch work.

Replicate Entire Tables

To replicate an entire table, click Add Tables in the Tables section, choose the table(s) you wish to replicate, and click Add Selected Tables.

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.

Schedule Your Replication

In the Schedule section, you can schedule a job to run automatically, configuring the job to run after specified intervals ranging from once every 10 minutes to once every month.

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