Prompting the Data Agent to generate data

Database connections require an Enterprise license.

Your external database must allow connections from the Fabricate IP addresses.

To add data to either a local database or a database connection, prompt the Data Agent.

You can provide details to further shape the data, and optionally tell the Data Agent to use its own judgment for some elements of the data. For example: Create 70 customers. Each customer has 1-3 orders. Each order has 1-5 products. You can choose the distribution of the customers throughout the United States.

The Data Agent an ask clarifying questions to help determine the data volume and distribution.

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

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.

Unless you specify otherwise, for a database connection, Fabricate generates all new data. You can also add records to a database:

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