You can use the MariaDB connector from the CData Sync application to move data from any supported source to the MariaDB destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Add the MariaDB Connector

To enable Sync to use data from MariaDB, you first must add the connector, as follows:

1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

3. Click the Destinations tab and locate the MariaDB row.

4. 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 MariaDB connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

• Connection Name - Enter a connection name of your choice.
