## Connect to the source database

To configure the connection to the source database for the workspace, use:

[<mark style="background-color:orange;">**PUT**</mark>**&#x20;/api/DataSource/source\_db**](https://app.tonic.ai/apidocs/index.html#/DataSource/UpdateSourceConnectionInfo)

You specify the data connector type, and provide the required connection details for that data connector type.

## Connect to the destination database

Before you can run data generation, you must configure the connection to the destination database. To do this, use:

[ <mark style="background-color:orange;">**PUT**</mark> **/api/DataSource/destination\_db**](https://app.tonic.ai/apidocs/index.html#/DataSource/UpdateDestinationConnectionInfo)

The destination database must use the same data connector type as the source database. You provide the required connection details based on the data connector type.
