# Generating data to a database connection

{% hint style="info" %}
Database connections require an Enterprise license.

Your external database must allow connections from the following Fabricate IP addresses:

* US instance (<https://fabricate.tonic.ai/>)
  * 184.72.239.148
  * 3.231.122.192
* EU instance (<http://eu.fabricate.tonic.ai/>)
  * 3.67.149.135
  * 3.69.97.191
    {% endhint %}

To generate data to a database connection, prompt the Data Agent.

If you have another populated database connection to work from as a resource, you can base the generated data on that database connection.

Unless you specify otherwise, Fabricate generates all new data.

For example:

`Populate the transactions database using the same profile as the prod database, but scale up the data volume to 1,000 customers. Use the same products as the prod database.`

You can also add records to a database:

`Add another 500 customers to the transactions database while maintaining the existing profile.`
