Sync overview​

The Sample Data (Faker) source generates sample data using the python mimesis package.

Output schema​

This source will generate an "e-commerce-like" dataset with users, products, and purchases. Here's what is produced at a Postgres destination connected to this source:

CREATE TABLE "public"."users" (
    "address" jsonb,
    "occupation" text,
    "gender" text,
    "academic_degree" text,
    "weight" int8,
    "created_at" timestamptz,
    "language" text,
    "telephone" text,
    "title" text,
    "updated_at" timestamptz,
    "nationality" text,
    "blood_type" text,
    "name" text,
    "id" float8,
    "age" int8,
    "email" text,
    "height" text,
    -- "_airbyte_ab_id" varchar,
    -- "_airbyte_emitted_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_normalized_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_users_hashid" text
);

CREATE TABLE "public"."users_address" (
    "_airbyte_users_hashid" text,
    "country_code" text,
    "province" text,
    "city" text,
    "street_number" text,
    "state" text,
    "postal_code" text,
    "street_name" text,
    -- "_airbyte_ab_id" varchar,
    -- "_airbyte_emitted_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_normalized_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_address_hashid" text
);

CREATE TABLE "public"."products" (
    "id" float8,
    "make" text,
    "year" float8,
    "model" text,
    "price" float8,
    "created_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_ab_id" varchar,
    -- "_airbyte_emitted_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_normalized_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_dev_products_hashid" text,
);

CREATE TABLE "public"."purchases" (
    "id" float8,
    "user_id" float8,
    "product_id" float8,
    "purchased_at" timestamptz,
    "added_to_cart_at" timestamptz,
    "returned_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_ab_id" varchar,
    -- "_airbyte_emitted_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_normalized_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_dev_purchases_hashid" text,
);

Features​

FeatureSupported?(Yes/No)Notes
Full Refresh SyncYes
Incremental SyncYes
NamespacesNo

Of note, if you choose Incremental Sync, state will be maintained between syncs, and once you hit count records, no new records will be added.

You can choose a specific seed (integer) as an option for this connector which will guarantee that the same fake records are generated each time. Otherwise, random data will be created on each subsequent sync.

Requirements​

None!
