Workspace identification and connection type

Every workspace includes the following settings to identify the workspace and to select the type of data connector.

Fields to identify the workspace

All workspaces have the following fields that identify the workspace:

1. In the Workspace name field, enter the name of the workspace.

2. In the Workspace description field, provide a brief description of the workspace. The description can contain up to 200 characters.

3. In the Tags field, provide a comma-separated list of tags to assign to the workspace. For more information on managing tags, go to Assigning tags to a workspace.

Connection type

Under Connection Type, select the type of data connector to use for the workspace data. You cannot change the connection type on a child workspace.

The Basic and Professional licenses limit the number and type of data connectors you can use.

• A Basic instance can only use one data connector type, which can be either PostgreSQL or MySQL. After you create your first workspace, any subsequent workspaces must use the same data connector type.

• A Professional instance can use up two different data connector types, which can be any type other than Oracle or Db2 for LUW. After you create workspaces that use two different data connector types, any subsequent workspaces must use one of those data connector types.

If you don't see the database that you want to connect to, or you want to have different database types for your source and destination database, contact [e-mail].

When you select a connector type, Structural updates the view to display the connection fields used for that connector type. The specific fields vary based on the connector type.
